Chapter 22: Kendra
Bradley's mother didn't let go of the box right away.
Her fingers stayed on the lid one second longer than mine.
"I read the first one," she said. "In the car. I'm sorry. I had no right."
"Which one?"
"The see-you-Friday one." Her mouth shook. "He kept it in his wallet. I never knew that about my own son."
She took her hands back.
"I've got no right to anything else either," she said. "I know that."
Then she turned and walked to the elevator, and she didn't look back, and I didn't call after her.
Kendra's trial started on the first Monday in April.
It lasted eight days.
I testified on the third.
Kendra sat at the defense table in a navy dress with a white collar and no jewelry, her hair in a plain low knot.
She looked like a Sunday school teacher.
She looked like me in Nan's thrift-store dress.
The prosecutor took me through it gently.
I answered each question in the order it happened, and I watched the jurors stop writing.
The camera with the red light. March, when I found it. April, when I stopped holding Tilly up, because nobody ever came.
