Chapter 22: In by Sea
The six launches fanned out behind us, and every lamp on them burned.
Tiago brought the Lucia in to the stone dock below Windward at a slow idle, with the tag marked 7 pinned to his coat.
I stood on the bow in the sea-green dress with the velvet mask on my face.
Forty steps rose from the water to the terrace, and every one of them held a guest.
Three hundred masks turned toward us.
The band on the terrace stopped in the middle of a bar.
Tiago stepped down onto the dock and held up his hand.
I took it.
His palm was warm and dry and steady.
At the foot of the stair, he leaned in to straighten my mask.
His mouth brushed my ear.
"Left foot first," he said. "Then tonight I'm going to ruin that dress again."
A laugh jumped out of me, and my shoulders came down.
I put my left foot on the first step.
I climbed.
I did not look at my feet.
The lanterns on the wall threw their light on the stones at my throat.
