Chapter 12: Page Thirty-One
Sixty people sat at Eleanor's long table under three crystal chandeliers.
Waiters carried in lamb, roast pears, and a three-tier cake with eighty-two candles unlit on top.
I wore the emerald wrap dress.
Declan wore a black suit and kept his hand on my thigh under the tablecloth.
Now and then he squeezed, to tell me he was still there.
Claire sat down the table from us, pale and silent.
She met my eyes once and gave me a tiny nod.
Terrence sat at Eleanor's right, as usual, with his cufflinks catching the light.
He was too calm.
When the dessert plates were cleared, he stood and tapped his glass.
"Grandmother," he said. "Cousins. Friends. May I propose a toast?"
Eleanor nodded, her face unreadable.
"To family," Terrence said. "To honesty. To the principle that a Brennan never lies to a Brennan."
Declan's hand tightened on my leg.
"Which is why," Terrence went on, "I regret that I must share something with you tonight."
