The Bottom (2015)
““I thought I’d found her,” she tells me when I stop in the office after breakfast. “There was this woman, same name, same age, up near Winchester. But when I called her, ‘she’ turned out to be a ‘he.’ Who the hell names their boy Leigh, anyhow?”
I conjecture that maybe his parents were hoping for a girl.
Sarah has used every source she can find, computer and otherwise, some in Virginia and some throughout the country. Nothing. She suggests that maybe I ought to hire a private detective. I tell ...her I don’t think Wheelie would sign off on that as a business expense, although he probably should.
“Leigh Adkins has probably gotten married and has her husband’s name now,” Sarah says, “although she didn’t show up on any marriage licenses, at least in this part of the world. When I marry, I’m going to keep my name, at least on my bylines.”
I tell her I think she’s right. There’s no sense in wasting all those years she’s spent building an identity. She looks to see if I’m jerking her chain.MoreLess
