I smoothed the newsprint with the heel of my hand. The paper had gone brittle at the edges, the way old things do when no one has troubled to preserve them properly, and I made a note in my ledger: Re-house in acid-free folders before December. The ink had faded to a brown so pale it was nearly the color of weak tea, but the headline was still legible: VANCE HEIRESS REPORTED MISSING; FAMILY CITES PERSONAL MATTERS.
Personal matters. I had read that phrase a hundred times, and a hundred times it had struck me as the sort of thing someone says when they do not wish to be asked a second question.
I turned the page. The follow-up appeared three days later, a small item on page four, the kind of placement that suggested the editor had been encouraged not to dwell. Eleanor Vance, age twenty-three, had left Havenwood of her own accord. She had eloped with a young man from out of town, a traveling salesman whose name the paper did not print. The family requested privacy. The sheriff's office had closed the inquiry.
