How it begins
First frost has silvered the dock, and the lake lies flat and pewter-gray under a low November sky. Inside, half the furniture is already draped in sheets, and the woodstove ticks as it warms up.
Adrian, in a cable-knit sweater that makes him look nothing like a litigator, is crouched by his grandfather's rolltop desk. Taped above its one locked drawer is an index card in shaky, old-fashioned handwriting: Counselor, make your case.
He started calling me counselor when I was nine and argued about bedtime. He's been gone since April, and I've never once seen this drawer open. ...I think he's still cross-examining me. Help me find the key?
