The
church
was
small
and
desolate
in
the
early
morning
sunlight
.
Its
stained-glass
windows
shielded
the
interior
from
heat
,
it
would
be
cool
there
,
a
place
to
rest
.
Kay
helped
her
mother-in-law
up
the
white
stone
steps
and
then
let
her
go
before
her
.
The
old
woman
preferred
a
pew
up
front
,
close
to
the
altar
.
Kay
waited
on
the
steps
for
an
extra
minute
.
She
was
always
reluctant
at
this
last
moment
,
always
a
little
fearful
.
Finally
she
entered
the
cool
darkness
.
She
took
the
holy
water
on
her
fingertips
and
made
the
sign
of
the
cross
,
fleetingly
touched
her
wet
fingertips
to
her
parched
lips
.
Candles
flickered
redly
before
the
saints
,
the
Christ
on
his
cross
.
Kay
genuflected
before
entering
her
row
and
then
knelt
on
the
hard
wooden
rail
of
the
pew
to
wait
for
her
call
to
Communion
.
She
bowed
her
head
as
if
she
were
praying
,
but
she
was
not
quite
ready
for
that
.
It
was
only
here
in
these
dim
,
vaulted
churches
that
she
allowed
herself
to
think
about
her
husband
's
other
life
.
About
that
terrible
night
a
year
ago
when
he
had
deliberately
used
all
their
trust
and
love
in
each
other
to
make
her
believe
his
lie
that
he
had
not
killed
his
sister
's
husband
.
She
had
left
him
because
of
that
lie
,
not
because
of
the
deed
.
The
next
morning
she
had
taken
the
children
away
with
her
to
her
parents
'
house
in
New
Hampshire
.
Without
a
word
to
anyone
,
without
really
knowing
what
action
she
meant
to
take
.
Michael
had
immediately
understood
.
He
had
called
her
the
first
day
and
then
left
her
alone
.
It
was
a
week
before
the
limousine
from
New
York
pulled
up
in
front
of
her
house
with
Tom
Hagen
.
She
had
spent
a
long
terrible
afternoon
with
Tom
Hagen
,
the
most
terrible
afternoon
of
her
life
.
They
had
gone
for
a
walk
in
the
woods
outside
her
little
town
and
Hagen
had
not
been
gentle
.
Kay
had
made
the
mistake
of
trying
to
be
cruelly
flippant
,
a
role
to
which
she
was
not
suited
.
"
Did
Mike
send
you
up
here
to
threaten
me
?
"
she
asked
.
"
I
expected
to
see
some
of
the
'
boys
'
get
out
of
the
car
with
their
machine
guns
to
make
me
go
back
.
"
For
the
first
time
since
she
had
known
him
,
she
saw
Hagen
angry
.
He
said
harshly
,
"
That
's
the
worst
kind
of
juvenile
crap
I
've
ever
heard
.
I
never
expected
that
from
a
woman
like
you
.
Come
on
,
Kay
.
"
"
All
right
,
"
she
said
.
They
walked
along
the
green
country
road
.
Hagen
asked
quietly
,
"
Why
did
you
run
away
?
"
