Chapter 21: Sixty-Five
Signe's POV
The private room at the restaurant in the Lloyd District held one long table and twenty-four people in good clothes.
A red paper lantern hung over each place.
Kazuko sat at the head in a plum silk jacket, with a corsage pinned at her shoulder and a glass of plum wine at her hand.
She had put Dane on her right, as before.
She had put Hana at the far end, as before.
She had put me beside Hana, which was new.
"You're in the family seats," Hana murmured, "because she wants you where she can see you."
"I know."
"She thinks you'll flinch."
"I've sat across from a hundred couples who hated each other," I said. "I won't."
Under the tablecloth her knee pressed against mine.
I did not flinch.
Eleven aunts and cousins sat on one side of the table, and nine on the other, and they ate in a dignified rush.
The waiters brought sashimi, and then grilled eel, and then a whole fish on a platter with its eye open.
Kazuko spoke to everyone but her daughter.
She spoke to Dane across the table in a warm, private voice, and he answered her politely, and he did not look at me.
