Chapter 21: Liza's Files
I didn't take it.
"It's one in the morning, Liza."
"I know what time it is." Her voice cracked. "I've been sitting on your stairs since ten. Your neighbor thinks I'm a stalker."
"Are you?"
"Etta. Please."
She'd never said please to me in three years.
Not even for the salt.
I unlocked my door.
"Five minutes. On the stairs. You're not coming in."
She sat back down on the top step, clutching the envelope.
I sat two steps below her in my muddy jeans.
Up close she looked younger.
Her platinum bob was flat from the hood. There was a coffee stain on her white coat.
"My father's cut me off," she said. "Since the vote. He says I made the family a joke."
"You did help."
She flinched. Then she kept going.
"Lance married me for my father's money. I'm not stupid. I knew that." She laughed, and it wasn't a laugh. "I just thought he liked me too."
"I thought that for five years."
"Last night I heard him on the phone with his mother. When the board votes his father out, he doesn't need Brewster anymore. He's filing the day after the wedding."
