Chapter 36
“How did the reading go?”
Noah shrugged. “Got a little bit of money.”
“That’s it?”
“Yeah.”
“What about the store? And the house? And his other assets?”
“Joan’s son, Joan’s daughter, Joan.”
“So that’s it?”
“Yep. I’m done.”

“It is. You know, I tore that house apart the other night. I was looking for something, and it was all I wanted. I swear, no box, no drawer, no corner was safe. I didn’t find it, though.”
“What?”
“A sign that he thought about me at all. I don’t have any family here. Not really. You know, I’ve never been invited to a holiday dinner?”
Luke shook his head.
