Maid for My Nemesis novel · Chapter 14 of 24
Chapter 14: The Offer
I took the stairs two at a time, and I did not take off my coat.
The apartment door was open a hand's width, and warm yellow light fell across the landing.
My mother stood at the stove with her arms folded and a dish towel over her shoulder.
My brother's bedroom door was shut, and I could hear nothing from behind it, which meant he was listening with his ear against the wood.
At the kitchen table sat a tall man with silver hair, in a camel coat that cost more than our rent.
He had Presley's dark eyes.
He had a folder open in front of him, and a pen laid carefully across the folder.
"Hattie," my mother said. "This is Presley's father."
"We've met," I said. "At the opening assembly. He sat in the front row and clapped."
"Miss Brennan." He rose halfway, the way people do who expect to be thanked for it. "Forgive the hour. I wanted to speak with your mother before the weekend."
"You could have called."
"Some things are better said across a table."
He turned the folder around and slid it toward my mother.
