The Key with the Red Yarn

By Tanya De Villiers

She was hired to replace a dead coach.

The apartment, the blue car, the team of watchful sixteen-year-olds - all of it came with the job. So did the key. Old-fashioned. Loop of red yarn. Two letters in pencil: F.N.

At the Institut Bellerive, on the shore of Lake Geneva, no one finishes the sentence about how the last coach died. The boys speak a private language. A photograph has a gap where a boy should stand. And the lake, deep as a cathedral, keeps its own version of the truth.

lodie Marchand came for a second chance. What she found was a key that opens more than a door - and a secret the school has spent a hundred and fifty years learning how to bury.

Some promises are made of yarn.
Some are made of silence.
Both will cost her everything.
