Chapter 21: What He Bargained
Halvard came back from the road alone, and he did not come into the cabin.
He stood on the porch step with his hands in his coat pockets, looking at the lake.
I sat down beside him on the boards.
"She's gone over the river line," he said. "Two hunters watched her cross."
"Good."
"She wasn't lying."
"About what?"
"About what I heard." He still didn't look at me. "I was going to tell you. It wasn't mine to tell. It was his."
"I'm asking you."
He breathed out.
"The night you went in," he said. "You were under."
"Tell me what happened on the shore."
"Lucan was on his knees at the shore, a long way off."
"But the ice carries a voice. Everything said near it comes up through the lake like a pipe."
"What did he say?"
"He talked to the ice." Halvard's jaw moved. "He said, take the ring."
