One dime buys four seconds with her.

Sincere Mitchell is twenty-five, six-foot-four, and the best hand on the floor of a Baltimore medical-supply warehouse, where he clocks in at five-thirty and fixes machines nobody asked him to fix. He has been the quiet one his whole life. His mother worked nights at Hopkins for fourteen years, sang Sam Cooke off-key, kept a mason jar of dimes on the counter, and told him that a dime on the ground means somebody is watching over you. She died at forty-six. In eighteen years she never once asked him a real question about himself.
