PART 11: An Invitation with Conditions

Three weeks after I left the house, Daniel requested a meeting.

His attorney suggested we sit down in a conference room to discuss the note.

Marcus advised me to let him handle the business discussion, but I asked to attend part of it.

I wanted my son to see that I was neither confused nor frightened into silence.

Daniel arrived alone.

He wore the expensive watch I’d given him for his fortieth birthday.
