Chapter 20: Open House
I didn't answer right away.
Across the yard, Matt was laughing at something his mother said, with a paper plate in one hand.
Thirty thousand bottles.
I knew exactly where thirty thousand bottles came from in three months.
A factory overseas, a machine, a seam up the side.
"Alice?" the buyer said. "Are you there?"
"We can't make thirty thousand," I said. "We can make three thousand by September, by hand, in the right glass."
"Then put it in another bottle for now. Just for the launch."
"No."
She was quiet.
"That's a lot of money to say no to on your wedding night."
"I said no to more than that in April," I said. "Glasshouse only goes in Ashbaugh glass. If I put it in anything else, I'm Tori with better chemistry."
I could hear her breathing, thinking.
"Fine," she said. "Three thousand. And a waiting list with my chain's name at the top of it, in writing."
"You'll have it Monday."
"I'll have it tomorrow. I'm driving up."
I hung up and walked across the yard to my husband.
"Who was that?" he said.
