Grant had left the Elmwood flat forty minutes earlier without drinking his morning tea or clearing his plate from the table.

She set the heavy envelope on the kitchen counter beside his half-empty mug and his drawing pencils.

She picked up the envelope again, checked the red certified label, and slid it into her coat pocket.

At half past eleven, Caroline took the Elmwood Avenue bus downtown to Westminster Street.
