Chapter 16: Albert
Albert Ward steered me into a small glass room off the corridor and shut the door on Tobias's voice.
Through the glass I watched my husband stop mid-sentence and look at us.
Albert turned his back to the window and the whole board.
"Sit down, Mrs. Schuyler. I'm sixty-six, and I don't talk standing."
I sat.
He took the chair across from me, set his glasses on the table, and folded his hands.
"My wife lost her hearing the last ten years of her life," he said. "I learned to sign at her bedside, badly."
"I watched your husband translate you at dinner. I have been watching him ever since."
"You knew."
"I knew he was lying at the dinner. I didn't know why."
He looked at me steadily.
"Now I'd like you to tell me, and tell it plain."
I took out my phone and put it flat on the table between us and pressed play.
The tiny speaker hissed, and my husband's cold voice came out of it.
