Chapter 32: Lost Things
It was a page torn from a church bulletin, written on the back in shaky blue pen.
I hear the girl at Loring's can find what's lost.
My husband's shrimp boat went down off Cape Romain in a nor'easter, February 1991. They never found her.
He took his wedding ring off to work the nets. He hung it on a nail by the wheel. I'd like it back before I go.
I can't pay much.
A twenty-dollar bill was folded inside, soft as cloth.
Under it, an address on Rifle Range Road.
Jasper read it over my shoulder in the blanket.
"Cape Romain's forty miles," he said. "That's a lot of ocean for a ring."
I closed my eyes and hummed.
Low, under my breath, the way I hadn't been able to for five years.
Far up the coast, something hummed back.
A small wooden hull on its side in the sand. A nail by a wheel.
Something gold, very small, still hanging on it.
I opened my eyes.
"It's there," I said.
Ida unscrewed the thermos.
"Then drink your coffee," she said. "You've got work."
