Chapter 16: Lena
Ten days after the cold room, Orla took me to Mass.
"Seven o'clock," she said on the phone. "Wear a skirt. God notices."
I went back to the Beacon Hill house the morning after Fort Point, because Declan knew every other place I slept.
The locks kept him out.
They kept me in as well, and I noticed that more than I used to.
Ronan drove me to St. Brigid's himself and parked across the street.
"I'll be in the car," he said.
"You'll be in the car and you'll watch the door."
"I'll watch the door."
Inside it smelled of wax and wet coats.
A priest I had seen at Orla's table was at the altar.
Twenty old women sat scattered through the pews.
Orla was already in the third row, a black lace scarf over her bun.
I knelt beside her.
"You look like a girl who hasn't been sleeping," she said under her breath.
"I haven't."
"Good. A good conscience is hard on the sleep." She turned a page of her missal. "Don't turn around."
