Chapter 19: Kendra
My grandmother's lawyer read the letter over the phone at ten.
He said a letter was only paper, that he would answer it by morning, and that I should go to bed.
I went to bed.
I did not sleep.
The guest room at the end of the upstairs hall had a lamp, a narrow bed and a window over the back yard.
The inspector had called my father from the road.
The director was still at Cedar Hollow an hour after we left, and she had not signed anything.
At ten past one, I heard a sound at the kitchen door.
It was not a knock.
It was the soft, scratchy sound of someone who didn't want to knock.
I went downstairs in my socks and turned on the porch light.
Kendra stood on the step in a wet raincoat.
Her ponytail was plastered to her neck, and her thin sneakers were soaked through.
She was holding a grocery bag in both hands.
I opened the door a hand's width, and I did not take off the chain.
