Chapter 13: Ten O'Clock
Ellsworth Avenue was white and silent at ten on Christmas morning, and every porch had a wreath.
Assunta Pellegrino's house was narrow brick with a Madonna in the front window and a shoveled walk.
Tomo carried nothing.
I carried the tin of anise cookies she had left on my desk, because I had nowhere else to put it.
She opened the door before we knocked.
She wore an apron over a gray wool dress, with flour on one wrist, and the hall behind her smelled of butter and ham.
"Wipe your feet," she said. "The coffee is made."
The kitchen was yellow and warm, with three places set on the good plates.
I saw the linoleum by the stove before I saw anything else.
It was a pale, clean square with a worn edge, and she watched me look at it.
"Yes," Assunta said quietly. "There."
Nobody spoke. The clock over the sink ticked.
