Shortly after noon, Bill Haden returned from Vaughan pit black with coal dust and blood that did not belong to him. Men come home early from that pit only when work, body, or life has gone wrong; say whose blood before silence makes it everyone. You step into this one-chapter preview with Bill Haden at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Bill rose beside you as the next chapter began. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
