Chapter 17: Thirty Days

Blake laughed.
"You can't stop a sale, Margot. You're a stay-at-home mom with a group."
"I'm of counsel at Chen and Associates," I said. "Vivian likes filing. It relaxes her."
He shook his head, still smiling, and walked away down the hall.
His shoes squeaked on the courthouse floor.
It ruined the exit a little.
Cliff watched him go.
"Four hundred people," he said quietly. "Half of them came after me. Most of them have never heard my name."
"They will."

Vivian came out of the courtroom with her briefcase and took one look at our faces.
"What," she said.

She stood there in the hallway and ate three almonds in a row without speaking.
"Okay," she said. "Your office or mine?"
"I don't have an office."
"Then mine. Tonight. Seven. Bring the baby and bring him." She pointed at Cliff with an almond. "Can you cook?"
"I can cook," Cliff said, a little offended.
"Good. I can't. My kitchen has never been used. It's very clean."
By five o'clock we'd filed.
