‘No, please, Caroline. I can’t.’
Caroline was unmoved. ‘Melissa, show the officer in. Tell him Mrs Brookstein will be with him momentarily.’
A few minutes later, Grace walked nervously into the entryway. She expected to find an aggressive FBI agent there to interrogate her. Instead, she was greeted by a shy young man in uniform. As soon as he saw Grace, he took off his cap politely. Grace felt the tension in her shoulders begin to ease.
‘Good evening, Officer. You wanted to see me?’
‘Yes, Mrs Brookstein. I, er…I have some news for you. It’s about your husband. Perhaps you’d like to sit down?’
Irrationally, Grace’s heart soared.
He’s alive! Lenny’s alive! They’ve found him! Oh, thank God. Lenny will come back and everything will go back to the way it used to be. We’ll have our homes again and our money, no one will hate us anymore…
‘Mrs Brookstein?’
‘Oh, I’m fine, thank you. I’ve been sitting all day. You say you have some news for me?’
‘Yes, ma’am.’ The young man looked at his shoes. ‘I’m sorry to have to tell you this. But this afternoon the Massachusetts coast guard recovered a body. We believe the remains to be those of your husband, Leonard Brookstein.’
