Chapter 14: Cade's Offer
"Mr. Roark," Cade called through the open window. "Sit with me. It's warm in here."
The engine ran, and the dash glowed, and a driver sat in the front seat staring straight ahead.
Noelle had turned from the road.
She stood by the Buick with her hand on the hood and her eyes on Doyle.
He shook his head at her once, a small movement, and she stayed where she was.
He opened the rear door of the black sedan and got in.
The leather was warm and smelled of cologne.
Cade sat in the corner with one ankle on his knee, in a camel coat and a gray scarf, looking rested.
"You came to see your wife," Cade said. "That's touching."
"How did you find the Buick?"
"Mrs. Tarrant's care home has a camera over the parking lot. Everybody has a camera."
He glanced out at the hill of stones.
"My father paid for that plot, you know."
Doyle said nothing.
"Fourteen years, and he never let the family forget what it owed you. A nice plot, a nice umbrella. I think he cried a little."
