Chapter 21: Halloween

Aimee's POV

I didn't run, and I didn't scream.

I walked past the booth where Russ was holding Andre's hand, close enough to smell his bourbon.

I didn't look at either of them.

"Sugar," Russ called after me, delighted. "See you tomorrow."

I went through the employee door and down the concrete stairs to the garage.

My hands were shaking so hard I dropped Brandi's keys twice.

Andre caught up with me at the car.

"Aimee."

"You shook his hand."

"I did."

"You stood up at his wedding, and now you're sitting at his left." I turned around. "Twenty years. I heard you."

He didn't come closer.

He took a blue deck out of his pocket and held it out to me on his open palm.

It was soft at every corner.

"He made a new one last week," Andre said. "He gave it to me to learn tonight. He wants it back at nine."

Then he took out his phone.
