Chapter 22: What Camryn Wants

Nash got to the head table first.

He didn't touch her.

He just stood between my stepmother and me with his hands folded in front of his belt.

The Silent One lifted a white napkin off a tray and held it out to me without a word.

Roan was already behind me.

I felt him there, a wall at my back, and I didn't need to turn around.

Wine ran down the front of the dress and dripped from the hem onto the club's polished floor.

I stood in it, and I did not wipe my face.

"Mrs. Landry," said the woman from the gate.

She had crossed the ballroom without anyone noticing.

She was a small, ordinary woman in a plain dark dress, and her badge was in her hand.

"You've had a long night," she said. "I'm going to ask you to come with me."

"Do you know who I..."

"I'm adding a thrown glass, since sixty people watched."

My stepmother looked around.

She looked at the banker, and the judge, and the pastor.

She looked at the library board in their good pearls, who were looking at their plates.

Then she looked at her daughter.

Camryn sat in white, with her gloves in her lap and her face wet.
