Chapter 23: The Sunday Table
Nobody at the table said a word.
The three men from New York looked at Achille in the carved chair.
Then they looked down the table at Livio.
Livio picked up his water glass and drank.
I carried the platter in and set it down in front of Achille.
"Look at this," Achille said to the men from New York. "She ran off to Maine, and she still came home to cook for us."
He lifted his wine.
"To the brave mother."
I didn't go back to the kitchen.
I stood beside the oldest of the three men from New York, and I took a folded paper out of my apron pocket.
"Before anybody eats," I said, "I have one more thing to serve."
I laid the hospital fax on the tablecloth beside his plate.
"That's me, an hour after the last dinner at this table. The line in the middle is what was in my tea."
He put on his glasses and read it.
I laid down the second paper.
"That's the technician who ran my paternity test. She signed it."
The third.
"That's the clinic's own file on my test. 'Result entered manually. Sample not processed.'"
