Chapter 13: Wrong Man
Margot looked at Truett.
Then she looked at me.
Then she put both hands over her mouth, the same way she had at my birthday.
"Oh my God," she said. "Oh my God, she attacked him."
The party behind her went quiet in a wave, from the door back to the dining room.
Two hundred people with champagne glasses turned around.
"She followed him out here," Margot said, louder. "I saw her. She grabbed him. At my engagement party."
Her voice cracked right on time.
"Mama Gaillard!"
Mrs. Gaillard came through the crowd.
She looked at me against the column.
She looked at her son, two steps away, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Truett," she said. "What happened?"
Everybody waited.
I waited.
I had dated him for three years.
I knew what his face did when he was choosing.
He looked at Margot.
He looked at his mother.
He looked at the porch floor.
He didn't say a word.
"He's in shock," Margot said, and took his arm. "Look at him. He's shaking."
"Somebody call the police," a man said from the hall.
