Granite Point was as gray and chilly as its namesake. Chief Kelsey and his deputy stood on the steps of Ivy House and straightened their already tidy uniforms in a bid to put off their next move. The chief had gone to early Mass, and his wife had watched him change into his work clothes with barely disguised dismay. The deputy picked him up in an unmarked sedan and they drove in silence, the dispatch radio turned off. Patience answered the door. She was wearing a pale blue cotton sweater over her jeans; her hair was wet and heavy against her long neck. Sorrel stood at the top of the stairs, and Nettie lingered halfway down the hall from the kitchen. Before the chief spoke, he looked up at Sorrel and winced. Sorrel descended, and both women drew together behind their sister. “It’s Rob Short,” the chief said. “He came to the station.” Sorrel and Nettie exchanged looks, and Patience shook her head. “I’m afraid that when he came to the Nursery, I got a little angry,” Patience said.
