Chapter 22: The Pen

"Her word against mine," Dale said again, louder, to the camera boat on the lake.

"Then let's hear a third word," said his new wife.

She took her phone out of the white coat and held it up where the lights could catch it.

"I asked him about the loan at breakfast on Thursday," she said. "I'd started recording everything. He laughs at me, and then he tells me I never said what I said."

Dale lunged.

Britta's husband-to-be was suddenly standing between them, six foot two in round glasses, and Dale bounced off him.

"Please don't," said Xander politely.

The new wife pressed a button, and her phone spoke through the stage speakers.

It was Dale's voice, bright and bored.

"Honey, nobody reads page nine. That's why it works. Ask my first wife."

A woman's voice said, "What does that mean?"

"It means the paper's the paper. You signed, you signed. Eat your eggs."

There was a silence on the lawn.

Then the bleachers started to boo.

It began as one man's voice.

It grew until two hundred people were on their feet, and the sound rolled down the dock and over the water.

Dale stood in the middle of it, with his tanned face swinging from side to side.
