‘So you weren’t at home with your mom, like you said in your statement?’

‘No. I snuck out; there’s a trellis by my window. It’s a quiet climb. Mom didn’t know I was gone. I’m sorry I lied on the statement. I didn’t know what to do.’ Sam’s voice broke. ‘Because of what my father wrote.’

Whit took a tissue from a box and carefully unfolded the note. It was written in typeface, from a computer printer:

I came home thinking I could fix what was broke in me and I can’t. Mama, I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused you and what I did to Corey. I killed him. I didn’t mean to, but I did. We argued over his drug use all those years ago, and I hit him and he fell and hit his neck funny against the stair banister. He was dead in less than a minute and I panicked. Before you came back to town I took his body out past Santa Margarita Island and weighed it down good and dumped it. I didn’t know what else to do. I have tried to deaden the pain of this for years with all the wrong things in life and I just can’t go on. This way is better. Sam and Faith, please forgive me. I love you both. Velvet – I don’t have the words. Be good. Mama – good luck in the election and I hope me ending my pain doesn’t mess up things for you. You haven’t had an influence on me in years so no one should blame you. I am just really unhappy about the person I am. Sam this has nothing to do with you at all. You are aces and I love you. I am so so sorry and please forgive me. Pete.
