The Ledger of Departures

Greta Sandoval married Enzo Moretti to keep her sister out of a debt. Fifteen years later she files for divorce, takes a night auditor's job at a small coastal hotel, and signs the register with her maiden name. Enzo signs the papers without a fight. Three weeks later, a sedan is parked outside the hotel every night, the front desk phone rings and hangs up when she answers, and her sister is followed home from work. Greta assumes it is Enzo. It is not. His father's old enforcer, Salvi, went to prison believing Greta kept a ledger of the family's cash movements — and Salvi has just been released. Greta does not have a ledger. She has a honeymoon deposit book she kept because no one told her not to. She will photograph every page, mail three envelopes, and close the accounts on her own terms — even if closing them costs her the marriage she was already ending.
