Chapter 5: The Whole Clip

Elias listened to the whole recording twice in the front seat without looking at me.

"It's her voice," he said. "She says the dates and she says the baby is his."

"She also says I was harassing her."

"She says that at the end, after you've said you didn't."

"Chad will say the recording is a bitter wife trying to trap a pregnant girl."

He nodded slowly.

"So don't use it yet," he said. "Get something with his hands in it."

I held onto that all the way back to the river.

That night Alasdair was on a call in his study with the door shut, and Elias was in the kitchen reading a report off a tablet.

I sat at the island with a glass of orange juice, in a pair of Alasdair's old college sweatpants, scrolling through my phone.

At nine-forty a message arrived from a number I didn't know.

"I was at the dinner. My husband sits on the village board. I filmed the whole thing from my seat and I didn't know what to do with it. I'm so sorry. I think you should see it."

It came with a file.

"Elias," I said. "Come here."

He set the tablet down and stood behind my shoulder, close enough that I could feel it, but not touching.

The video started a few seconds before my joke.

It showed the long table, the lights and forty heads turned toward me.
