Chapter 16: The Lakehouse
The road ended at a gray house on a gray lake, with one lit window and no signal.
Cullen was on the porch, exactly where Hannah had said.
He sat on the top step with a half-sanded chair leg across his knees, and he didn't look up when my tires crunched the gravel.
I got out and shut the car door.
The wind off the water went straight through my suit.
"Hannah sent you," he said.
"Hannah told me where. She didn't send me."
"That's a distinction."
"It's the only one I have."
He ran the sandpaper down the leg, slowly.
"Say what you drove up here to say."
"I should have told you in the records room."
The sandpaper stopped.
"I found the stamp before you did, and I knew whose it was."
"I stood there while you cried, and I let you hold me, and I said I was sorry like it was a favor."
"It was a lie."
"It was half a lie. I was sorry. I also should have said, this is mine."
