It did not need to become a weapon.

Weston also gave me something that had arrived at his office: an old family address sheet bearing a line through my name, sent in correspondence associated with Graham.

I did not know why it had been sent or what my father intended the recipient to conclude.

We preserved the envelope and page without adding it to the central allegation as though its meaning were obvious.

Some questions remained questions.
