Chapter 22: The Bride Walks Out
Braden's wedding was in the Crystal Room at two o'clock, and by one-thirty every seat on the bride's side was full.
The bride's father had hired a string quartet and a florist from Philadelphia.
The white roses on the altar were the size of dinner plates.
Hazel stood beside me in the back row in a sage-green dress she had sewn herself over a single weekend.
Her hand was in mine, and her palm was sweating.
"You don't have to do this," she whispered.
"I know."
"Then why are you wearing that dress?"
I was wearing the black crepe from the cocktail hour, with the long slit up one side and the neckline cut to show my collarbones.
"Because it's mine," I said. "And because they can all see me in it."
Silvio sat on my other side in a dark suit.
His arm lay along the back of the pew, his hand resting near my shoulder.
He hadn't said a word since we came through the doors.
He didn't need to.
At the front, Braden stood at the altar in a grey morning coat with a white carnation pinned to his lapel.
