Chapter 21: The Trade
"What sentence?" I said.
Behind me the cooler door thumped open, and Mei came out wiping her eyes from laughing.
She saw Daniel and stopped dead.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me," she said. "I painted that window."
The bell over the door rang again.
A small woman in a raincoat came in with a folded newspaper under her arm, sixty or so, gray hair in a bun.
She looked at the white window, then at me, and then at Daniel, and her eyebrows went up.
"Oh," she said. "Mr. Zhang."
Daniel's smile came up automatically. "Hello."
"I'm in 908," the woman said. "Riverside. I put down my deposit two years ago. You shook my hand at the launch."
"Of course," Daniel said, though he clearly didn't remember. "Good to see you."
"I just came for some tulips," she said, and didn't move toward the tulips at all.
I looked at Daniel.
"Say it," I said. "She can hear it too."
Daniel glanced at the woman, then back at me.
He lowered his voice, but the shop was small.
"Your husband's terms are eighty percent and my mother out," he said. "Tell him fifty-one. Tell him my mother keeps her chair. Tell him to sign by Friday."
