Chapter 22: Stage Door

"Say it to the camera," I told him.

Brendan stood center stage in his white shirt, under full house lights, with three thousand people watching.

His mouth opened.

Nothing came out.

"Tell them where you were on the ninety-fourth night," I said. "Tell them whose voice you took."

"Roz."

"Tell them, or I will."

He looked at the crane camera.

He looked at the ring in his hand.

I watched him search for the sentence that would fix it, the soft, rehearsed, tender sentence that had never failed him, and I watched him not find it.

"I never meant," he said, and stopped.

A man in the balcony booed.

Then ten more.

Then it became a roar, a long, low, rolling disgust, a sound that filled the golden horseshoe from stalls to ceiling.

I felt a small hand tug my sleeve.

Maisie stood at my elbow in her tour vest with a thick white envelope.

"This is for you to give him," she whispered. "The lawyer said any adult who isn't you."

"You're an adult."

"I'm a very good adult." She grinned. "Can I?"

"Please."

She marched across the stage.

She stopped in front of my husband, in the glare of the lights, with the cameras on her face.

"Brendan Schneider," she said loudly. "You've been served."

She slapped the envelope into his chest.
