Chapter 20: The Offer
I opened the envelope at six on Monday morning, sitting on the floor of my closet with the door shut.
The paper inside was cream, heavy, and folded in thirds.
Tino's handwriting slanted across the top of it, careful and polite.
Dear Mr. Reardon, it began.
Under the letter were two stapled documents.
One was the old note, signed by Cormac's father two years before he died.
The other was Maeve's surgery note, for sixty thousand dollars.
Both were stamped Paid in Full across the front, and Tino had already signed them.
I scanned the letter, with my back against my mother's coats.
You are a practical boy, Mr. Reardon, and I think you will agree that this is a generous offer.
At the Maradei engagement party on October 24, after the toast, you will stand and speak to the families.
