He Humiliated Me in Public, So His Regret Pays by the Tear novel · Chapter 18 of 32
Chapter 18: Spite
The Chicago Pastry Guild holds its spring dinner in a hotel ballroom the color of a wedding cake.
We were invited because Sokol's had been written up twice.
A judge from the Guild had eaten a plum tart standing on the sidewalk.
Piotr wore a suit.
It was the only one he owned, a charcoal gray he had bought for his father's wake.
It fit him across the shoulders.
"You look good," I said in the cab.
"I look like a bailiff."
"A very good-looking bailiff."
He smiled out the window and did not say anything.
We had been together four weeks.
It had been a good four weeks.
He cooked me dinner in his kitchen and we ate it standing up.
In the morning he went down the back stairs at five and lit the oven for me.
I was happy.
I had not forgotten to be.
Then we walked into the ballroom, and I saw Dominik at a table near the stage.
