Chapter 19: Two Hundred Guests

Two hundred people turned in their white chairs.

The quartet stopped in the middle of a bar.

"That man is not Gavin Ashworth," I said.

My voice carried, because the terrace had been built for weddings.

Lyle's smile held for a moment.

"Ma'am, I think you're confused," he said, in the warm lobby voice. "Is there someone from security?"

"I'm not confused."

Gavin stood up beside me and put his hand on the back of my chair.

"I'm Gavin Stanford Ashworth," he said. "That's my cousin Lyle."

"He's a vice president of sales who has worn my name for two years."

A murmur went through the rows, and a chair scraped.

The officiant looked from Lyle to Gavin and back again, with his thumb marking a page in the prayer book.

"Folks," Brooke said, in her sweetest voice. "I'm so sorry. She's a former employee. She has been harassing us for weeks."

She turned to her bridesmaids, all three of them in lavender.

"Please, someone."

Nobody moved.
