Chapter 20: The Aisle
The officiant took the license from Lyle's hand and unfolded it.
He read it slowly, with his glasses on the end of his nose.
"Gavin Stanford Ashworth," he read. "Alexis Gaillard. Issued Friday, Walworth County, both parties appearing in person before the clerk."
"Yes," said Lyle. "Friday."
"Then the signatures are yours?" the officiant said to Gavin.
"I have never been to the Walworth County clerk."
"Friday at noon I was in a private dining room at the Ashworth tower," Gavin said.
"I was ending my engagement to the woman in the veil."
"I was in the hallway," I said. "Holding a folder."
"A doorman saw us," said Gavin. "So did a waiter, and a floor of people who heard her laugh through the door."
The officiant looked at the veil.
Brooke said nothing.
"The clerk records a photograph of identification for each applicant," the officiant said to Lyle. "May I see your driver's license?"
"It's in my room."
"Then I'll send for it."
