Her ear hurt. For the last hour she’d been holding the receiver to it, saying the same awful words over and over again, letting people know that Henry had died. She’d fielded the questions as best she could, congratulating herself each time for not breaking down the way she sorely wanted to.

But now she was finally finished with the calls, finally finished holding herself together. She glanced over to the battered old sofa that had once been in her parents’ living room and that Henry had claimed for his den, citing sentimental value. The leather was cracked in at least half a dozen places, but Henry wouldn’t hear talk about getting rid of it.

She could remember sitting there with him when they were children. Right now, Beth was curled up on it and Andrea was beside her. Both had fallen asleep. She was torn between just leaving them there or herding them off to their beds. She didn’t want to wake them, but their necks were going to ache tomorrow.

It would match their hearts.

Her cell phone began to ring. Startled, she pulled the phone from her pocket and looked at the incoming number. It wasn’t one that she recognized. Getting up, she went outside the den to keep from waking the girls.

She flipped open the phone. “Hello?”

“I knew you’d lose your nerve at the last minute.”

She recognized the voice instantly.
