Chapter 17 - THE CHAIR
The wedding chair ended up in storage.
I did not know until a hotel manager asked whether legal needed it preserved.
Police had photographs and measurements.
No.
Release.
The venue planned to discard it because one leg had cracked during the fall.
Alessia asked for it.
I stared.
“Why?”
“I want the wood.”
“For what?”
“Project.”
She had the damaged chair broken down by a carpenter.
Made a small bookshelf.
I thought symbolism was becoming excessive.

“It fits beside my desk.”
