I Came Home Early From Columbus and Found a Deed With My Name Signed on It
The downtown First Federal branch was quiet when I pushed through the brass revolving doors at eleven thirty.
Martha Vance was sitting at a metal desk by the side vault, her brass notary seal locked inside a glass case.
She’d worked at First Federal for twenty-two years and had notarized my mother’s car title back in 1998.
“I never put my seal on your property transfer, Claire,” Martha said before I’d even sat down in the vinyl chair.
“Your name and license number are printed right on the county filing scan,” I said.
