Chapter 29: The Parole Board
I wore red.
Not the gala dress. A plain red coat over a plain red dress, the color of a stop sign.
The square of tape under my collarbone showed above the neckline.
I let it.
The hearing room was on the eighth floor of a state building downtown, with gray carpet and a flag in the corner.
Three parole commissioners sat behind a raised table with microphones.
Camille had asked for it to be open.
Victims could attend. So could the press.
She'd made sure the press knew.
There were four cameras along the back wall and a row of reporters with their phones out.
Margaret sat in the second row in lilac and pearls, gloves folded in her lap.
Camille sat at the front table beside her lawyer, in cream.
She turned in her chair when I came in.
She saw the red and smiled at me.
Ethan sat down beside me in the first row.
The hospital phone was in my coat pocket.
"We're here on the application of Camille Hollister for early discharge from parole," the middle commissioner said. "Ms. Hollister, you may address the board."
Camille stood.
She didn't use notes.
"Three years ago I hurt a good woman," she said. "I've spent every day since trying to understand how I became that person."
