Chapter 25: The Microphone

Odette's POV

The microphone was warm from his hand.

I looked out at two thousand faces.

I knew about half of them by name.

Behind me, my own face was fifteen feet tall, with my eyes shut and a man's white coat under my cheek.

"My name is Odette Thibodeaux," I said.

The speakers threw it back across the grounds.

"Some of you call me Odette Guidry still. Some of you used to bring me your pay questions at the window, and I got them right."

A woman in the second row laughed, short and nervous.

"That's the doctor who delivered my daughter in Mobile."

I pointed over my shoulder without looking.

"He is sixty-one years old, he has four grandchildren, and he gives out lollipops."

Somebody in the crowd snorted.

"I am crying in that picture because he had just shown me her heartbeat."

The grounds went very still.

I kept my eyes on a point above the heads, on a pecan tree at the back.

If I looked at one person I would not get it out.

"Fourteen months before that boil, I lost a son."
