There wasn’t anything unusual in the box. I made myself go through it-Reggie Kinnard, the detective working with us, had mentioned that the psychopaths who kidnap children will occasionally amuse themselves by sending mail to the victim’s family. Tears in his eyes, he admitted that he’d been intercepting junk mail addressed to Kyle for the past twelve months and turned over a shoe box full. I spent the day thinking about it and then knocked on the door of the building super, Mr. It was a shock when I first received mail for Kyle about a year after he disappeared-a solicitation from some preteen magazine. He said good morning and solemnly handed me a few pieces of mail addressed to my son. On Fridays I add a chocolate croissant, cutting it in half for the two of them to share.įrank, the night doorman, had a taxi waiting by the time I got downstairs. I flipped on the under-counter lights, opened the valve on the softly clanking radiator, and then set out the usual weekday breakfast for Claire and Kate-fruit, cereal, and yogurt. After a few minutes of no response, I got up and got ready for work. Some mornings she ignored me, some mornings we made love, and some mornings she wept.
She had her back to me, but she didn’t sound like she was sleeping, so I rolled onto my side and used one hand to gently massage her neck and shoulders. I woke early and listened to Claire breathe.
