He had never wanted to see that book again. She had been in it. Gertrude said she'd dealt with it, and he'd seen the remnants of the burnt page shown to him.
But he needed to make sure she really, really wasn't there anymore. That she would never be anymore.
He flipped the book to the last page, something he'd done so many times that he had lost count. Relief flooded as that familiar page that haunted his waking life wasn't there.
And just as soon as the relief settled, he felt his stomach sink. There was a new page in this book. One much more recent than his mother's. Someone had bound a new page to this book in the time since his mother was released not too long ago.
He read the new page aloud.
