“Are you all right?”
“No.”
He nodded.
“Fair.”
I almost smiled.
Then I said:
“I want DNA testing.”
“Immediately.”
“Independent labs.”
“Whatever you want.”
“I choose one.”
“Yes.”
“You choose another.”
“Yes.”
“No press.”
“Absolutely.”
“No company announcement.”
“Agreed.”
“No money discussions until results.”
Alexander nodded.
“Agreed.”
Margaret smiled through tears.
“You are exactly like Amelia.”
I flinched.
She noticed.
“I’m sorry.”
“No.”
“It’s okay.”
“I just…”
I looked at her.
“I don’t know who she is yet.”
Margaret nodded.
“Then we go slowly.”
That mattered.
We arranged testing the next morning.
Chain of custody.
Two separate laboratories.
No shortcuts.
Then I went home.
