Chapter 13: Debt
Phillip said nothing for so long that I heard the lake against the dock below us.
He sat down on the cold step beside me, and he stared out at the water.
"Two years," he said at last.
"Maybe less."
"And you planned to tell me when?"
"I didn't."
His head turned.
"You came into my kitchen under a false name with a bad eye."
"And you let me tell you about my insomnia."
"You asked."
"I asked a cook about pepper. I didn't know I was asking my wife."
He stood up so fast the stone scraped under his shoes.
He walked three steps along the terrace, and he walked back.
"The ballroom," he said.
"You had your back to the wall and both hands flat on the paneling."
"I thought you were afraid of the crowd."
"I was afraid of the dark."
"I turned off every light in the house, Kira."
"I know."
"I turned them off so you could not be tricked in front of the board. I put you in a pit with my own hands."
