Chapter 14: The Parking Lot
I told my brother at six in the morning, in his kitchen in Hibbing, with the coffee still dripping.
I said it plainly, in order, the way Hugo had said it to me, and then I stopped talking.
Sal didn't move.
He stood with one hand on the counter and the other flat against the stiff muscle of his neck.
His face went through five colors.
"He told you that."
"Yes."
"After nine years."
"He told me last night."
"Two months ago he didn't know your first name."
"He knew it, Sal. He knew it the first day."
That landed.
My brother put his mug down so carefully it didn't make a sound.
"Where is he?"
"Duluth."
He took his keys off the hook and walked out.
I ran after him in my socks.
He drove the two hours to the lake with the window open and his jaw clenched.
