“This has got to be the worst celebratory dinner I’ve ever attended,” I say to Robertson. Elizabeth has joined us at an Irish bar called Mick Michaelson, which is across the street from the courthouse. It’s the kind of place with only burgers on the menu, but over a hundred different beers on tap.

“Sorry, the county of Palm Beach doesn’t spring for lobster and Dom Pérignon every time we put a murderer behind bars.”

I raise my beer mug. “Thank you,” I say. “To a successful prosecution.”

“I prefer to drink to justice being done,” Robertson says.

“To that then,” I say, taking a sip of my beer.

“I meant in the future sense. Like the judge said, we’re not done yet.”

I look at Elizabeth before saying anything. She nods, ever so slightly, telling me it’s okay to respond as we’d discussed I would.

“I know you’re not, Morgan, but I’m afraid I am. We’re heading home tomorrow morning, and I’m not coming back.”

“Alex, I need you for the sentencing phase.”

“I’m sorry,” I say in a flat voice, one that I hope gets across that she won’t be able to change my mind.

“I don’t understand. Family members are usually climbing over one another to give an impact statement. I need you to be at the hearing to speak for your mother. But more than that, I’m sure she’d want you there to see that Ohlig pays for what he did.”

“I’m sorry,” I tell her again. “My mother would understand that I’ve already done enough.”
