Chapter 13: Count It
I got up off the floor between the seats with my jaw on fire.
Three hundred phones followed me up.
Natalie stood at the edge of the stage with one hand flat on her stomach, waiting for me to crumble.
"Count it," she said again. "Eleven weeks. You know exactly where you were."
"I do," I said.
My voice came out thick, and I spat blood into my palm.
"The first weekend of August I was in Denver at a broker conference," I said. "Four hundred people saw me there, and my boarding pass is in my email."
Natalie's mouth tightened.
"You flew home Sunday night."
"I flew home Sunday night, and you were at the airport with a sign, and you went home alone because I said I was tired."
A few people in the third row laughed.
Natalie turned red from the neck up.
"I was in your bed Monday," she said. "It could have been Monday."
"It could not," Hazel said.
She had stepped off the stage steps and stood beside me with her phone in her hand.
She did not raise her voice.
"Put up the next page," she said to the technician in the booth.
The screen behind the podium changed.
It showed a hotel folio with the Pfister's gold crest at the top.
"Suite 2214," Hazel read. "Checked in August second, checked out August fourth. Paid on a card in the name of the firm. Signed for by C. Dunleavy."
A second photo filled the screen beneath it.
Connor and Natalie, in the Pfister lobby, her hand in his back pocket, the time stamp running down the corner.
