The house had been empty for eleven years when Elena inherited it, though "empty" wasn't quite right—her mother had kept every room prepared, dusted, as if for a guest who kept not arriving. The piano tuner still came quarterly. The gardener still cut the yew into spheres. Elena found his invoices in a drawer, dating back to the week after her mother's funeral, addressed to no one, paid in cash that appeared each month in an envelope on the kitchen sill.
