Chapter 14

I next see Tim in the parking lot of the state police barracks, where he leans against the tailgate of the van sucking down a cigarette, the urgency of his smoking a thin cover for the tremble it masks. I stifle the urge to chastise him, remind him it’s been twenty years since he’s indulged such a filthy habit. But now seems as good a time as any to revert to a past crutch.

I sink into his arms, the cigarette burning on behind my shoulder. “Shh,” he breathes, because without realizing it, I have begun sobbing. “It’s okay. It’ll be all right.”

I want nothing more than to believe him, but he speaks from ignorance. “Owen...” I manage to sputter. “We have to…”

“I took care of it.”

“You did?”

He nods gently before pressing his lips to my head. “He’ll be home tomorrow.”

I flatten my face to his chest, inhale the goodness that seeps from his pores. Then I close my eyes. “Thank you,” I say. At least now it’s conceivable that we could bury the baby before I am under arrest.
