My whole body was shaking, but not from the cold.
“Katherine,” I said, “do you understand what you just did?”
“I understand that I finally get to sleep,” she snapped. “Maybe now you’ll teach those children some manners.”
“do you understand what you just did?”
I opened my mouth to argue, and then something inside me went very still.
I closed it again.
Arguing with her was like arguing with a locked door.
I had learned that at Christmas, and with the roses, and every single day since my husband died.
So I did the one thing she never expected.
Arguing with her was like arguing with a locked door.
I stopped talking.
I pulled out my phone.
My thumb was steady as I raised it.
“What are you doing?” Katherine demanded.
I said nothing.
I filmed the truck, slow and careful.
I pulled out my phone.
I filmed the license plate.
