Chapter 30: Same Voice
Scott's mother came back into the light.
"Robin," she said, low and sharp. "That isn't what's on the program."
I didn't look at her.
I looked up at the sound booth, a small lit window at the very back of the hall.
"Could you play it again, please?" I said into the microphone. "From the beginning."
For a second nothing happened.
Then the lights went down.
"No," his mother said. "Turn that off. I said turn it off."
The screen went gray.
The nursery came up, and the crib, and the little wooden boats turning on the mobile.
Kristy's Last Lullaby.
His mother stood at the edge of the stage with her hands in fists at her sides.
The woman in the glider began to rock.
I waited for the breath before the first line.
Then I sang with her.
"Little boat, little boat, the harbor light is on."
Her voice came out of every speaker in the hall.
Mine came out of the microphone in my hand.
It was one voice.
The same breath, the same little catch on "light."
