“That woman trusted you,” I said.
He had no answer.
The Envelope at the Door
The next morning, I found a plain envelope taped to the front door.
There was no name and no return address.
Inside was a copy of an old company resolution dated nine years earlier.
The document claimed that I had approved a change in voting rights shortly before the twins were born.
My name appeared at the bottom.
The signature looked almost like mine.
Almost.
Across the top, someone had written in blue ink:
You need to learn what was changed while you were in the hospital.
My hands became cold.
A second sheet was folded behind the first.
It contained only one sentence.
Ask Gavin why your mother called him the night before she passed away.
Gavin had always told me he had not spoken to her that week.
Upstairs, Nolan and Parker laughed while brushing their teeth.
