Chapter 22: Savannah's Penance
The diner on Eastern Avenue smelled of burnt coffee and fryer oil.
I sat in the last booth at six in the morning, in my coat, with my hands around a mug.
Savannah came out of the kitchen in a brown uniform and a paper hat.
She carried a coffeepot.
When she saw me her face went white under the fluorescent light, and she nearly dropped it.
"Ivy."
"Sit down for a minute."
"I'm on the clock."
"The manager's my husband's cousin's friend," I said. "He says you have ten minutes."
She slid into the seat across from me.
Her hands were red to the wrists, and there was a bandage on one thumb.
The scar on her lip had healed to a thin pink line.
"I've been here eleven days," she said. "Five to two, then dinner shift at the steakhouse."
"Is it awful?"
"My feet bleed." She laughed, and it cracked. "A man called me honey and tipped me a quarter."
