Chapter 15: Live at Seven
The morning show wanted me live at seven, on a couch the color of mustard, between a weatherman and a woman with a perfect smile.
Dolores had said yes before I could say no.
"Two million people watched your garage video," she had told me. "Go and tell them the ending yourself."
The host leaned toward me when the red light came on.
"Leah Sutherland Corbin. Welcome."
"Just Sutherland," I said. "I'm taking my father's name back."
The host smiled wider. "Good for you. Now, your husband sold your Lake Forest home on Tuesday for half its value. Gave away three cars. Sold his watch collection online."
"I heard," I said. "I own half of the house. The buyer has it only because I allowed it."
"Why would you allow it?"
"Because I wanted the house gone. It was never mine. I lived in it for ten years and never chose a single curtain."
The audience in the studio laughed, softly, on my side.
The host asked about the garage, and I told her.
I told her I was thirty-six and a mechanic's daughter.
I told her I had given eighty thousand dollars to a man who then called me spent.
I did not cry. I said it.
"And the secretary?" the host asked.
"Fired. She's with the district attorney now."
"And your husband?"
I opened my mouth.
A crash came from behind the camera.
A producer shouted. The red light swung. Someone knocked over a stand, and a man in a wrinkled suit broke through the curtain onto the set.
