Chapter 10: The Microphone

The whole ballroom saw them.

Four hundred heads turned from the doors to our table and back again.

Across from me, Pippa set her champagne down so hard it slopped over.

Christian had insisted she sit with us.

"She's your family," he'd said. "Family sits at the front."

"Don't," I whispered to her.

"I'm going to rip his rented bow tie off and choke him with it."

Christian's hand stayed on my back.

He didn't stand up.

He just watched them cross the floor.

Portia walked Henrik straight to the little stage by the band.

Deirdre rose from the head table, glass in hand, and tapped it with a spoon.

"Friends," she called. "Before the toast, a guest has asked to say a few words. I think we owe him that. After everything."

"Deirdre," Walter growled. "Sit down."

She didn't.

She handed Henrik the microphone herself.
