Present Day

Katherine

Day three at Luella’s house had been a whirlwind—pandemonium, her father had called it. Katherine and Laney had made a last-minute decision to call in the estate-sale lady early, so she could start assessing the pieces of furniture, china, stemware, table linens, and other trinkets that had been in good enough condition to salvage for a high-end estate sale. They’d also hired a moving company—more like a friend of a friend of Rick’s who’d materialized with a pack of burly men and two enormous trucks. When Katherine had asked about a contract, in the event of damages, they’d all had a hearty chuckle at her expense. “We’ll get it all there in one piece, sweetheart,” the leader of the pack had assured her, and she’d smiled stiffly. The idea, which Katherine had concocted on her way back to the Equinox, was to get as much stuff out of the house and into storage as they could so that the cleaners could come in and start on the first floor while Katherine and Laney proceeded to pack up the rooms upstairs. She’d called Laney and, to Katherine’s surprise, Laney had agreed wholeheartedly, without any resistance. She’d even offered to find the movers—thus Rick’s friend of a friend.

All day long it had been people running around the house, asking questions, needing answers, wanting to know what went where and who was supposed to do what. Katherine was in her element, at the same time fielding anxious pleas from Brooke back in New York. After all, it was a Monday in the “real world,” as Katherine had heard herself repeating over and over every time someone raised an eyebrow at her phone ringing again. If only they knew this is nothing compared to my usual pace, she’d thought. Katherine suspected that Jane, her boss, had asked everyone at the office to give her as much space as possible while she was out; the phone wasn’t ringing as often as it normally would, despite the fact that all of the other people working around her seemed to be burdened by the frequency. After the sixth consecutive call, one of the movers had said, “Boy, oh, boy, lady. You must be someone important” within earshot of Laney, which had afforded Katherine a jolt of self-satisfaction.

By five p.m. everyone had been exhausted, but the house did look—and smell—drastically better. It had taken seven of them—five big men, Katherine, and Laney—to cover and move the crystal chandelier, which had been the last piece of furniture. Now, arriving on day four, Katherine felt a profound sense of relief and accomplishment in finding a barren first floor, with only dust mites to dance atop the hardwood surface. They still had three guest bedrooms, which they hoped to knock out today, thereby leaving only Luella’s den and bedroom, the most arduous, mentally and physically, of all the rooms in the house. Luella’s closet alone could take a week. Last night in bed, Katherine’s head had been spinning, conjuring every
