She did. Ninety seconds, roughly. And at the end of them she said: "I'm at the Lodge tomorrow. There's a service station off the Lindhaven road. I'll be there from eleven. If you don't come, I won't contact you again."

His mother.
Who I was told, in the spring of 2022, four months after we met, had died in 2018.
