Chapter 34: The Deposition

Sabina's POV

They gave me a witness chair with a cushion on it, because the last person had been taller.

I took the cushion off and put it on the floor.

The courtroom was full again, as it had been all week, and the gallery rustled when I sat.

She looked at me with an expression I knew from a thousand mornings at my desk.

It was fondness.

It was the most frightening thing in the room.

"Ms. Lipinski," said the judge, in her plain voice. "Please state your name."

"You have been told that you may decline to answer any question that could incriminate you."

"Yes, Your Honor. I'm going to answer all of them."

Someone in the gallery let out a breath.

The lawyer for the petitioners rose.
