Chapter 13: Imogen's Price
"Not yet" hung in the boathouse like smoke.
A hundred and fifty guests stood frozen with their glasses halfway up.
Leopold Bulfinch laughed, lightly, and turned to the room.
"My son's fiancee is overwrought," he said. "Please. Dinner will be served in a moment."
Nobody moved toward the tables.
Mr. Eustis crossed the floor and took his daughter by the arm.
"Imogen. The boat bay. All of you."
He said it quietly, which was worse than shouting.
The boat bay was a cold concrete room under the rafters, with kayaks racked on the walls and a smell of diesel and salt.
Imogen stood in the middle of it with the phone in her fist.
Lucian stood at my shoulder.
Her father shut the door and put his back against it, and Leopold's smiling face went on being a shape behind the frosted glass.
"Play it," I said.
"Say please."
"Play it, Imogen."
She enjoyed that for a moment, and then she touched the screen.
Leopold's voice came out of the phone, warm and tired.
"A woman that age signs what the doctor puts in front of her."
