Chapter Twenty-Four
âYou have a customer,â I tell Sam. He doesnât rise to the sound of the front door jingle.
âI donât care.â
âGo ahead.â
âI want to finish this conversation.â
âIâll be here when you get back. But I wonât talk to you until you walk out there and talk to her.â
Because I know who it is. I havenât been here as long as Sam, but I know this place, instinctively somehow.
He rises and looks back at me as he unlocks the door. He leaves it open, allowing me to hear the conversation beyond.
âIs he still here?â Becky asks, voice a little more firm than last night, but still like papier mâché in audio form.
âHeâs here.â
She says something I canât make out.
Samâs voice I can discern. âYou donât deserve this, Becky.â
The crying starts then. âI know,â is the only phrase not drowned by her sobs.
âYou can leave him,â Sam tells her. âStart over.â
Her sobs come deeper and faster, and I can understand even less of what sheâs saying. Standing at the door, like I was last night with the buck knife, all I can make out is âkids,â âgood father,â and ânot his fault.â
âAre you sure?â Sam asks. A pause, and then he adds, âLet me see if heâs up. Go on back to your room. Someone will come get you.â
