Chapter 26: Not Today
Mauro had left at six to meet the agents at a diner on Oregon Avenue.
Sergio knew that.
I could see it in the way he smiled through my glass.
The soup-cans lady woke up with her needle still in her fingers.
"Is that Sergio Sabatino at seven in the morning? Who died?"
Nobody answered her.
I went to the door and unlocked it, because if I didn't, he'd stand there smiling until the brides came.
The bell rang.
He came in alone.
The two men stayed out on the sidewalk with their hands folded.
He smelled like shaving soap and cologne, and he looked around at my shop like a man pricing it.
The coffee cups.
The thread on the floor.
The nonna asleep in the window seat with her cane across her knees.
Annette on the fitting box in ivory crepe and my mother's lace.
"Annette," he said warmly. "I heard about your place. Terrible thing. These old buildings, the wiring's a hundred years old."
Annette looked down at him from the box.
