Chapter 14: Her Terms

We wrote the terms at the kitchen table on Tybee Island, on yellow legal paper, in my handwriting.

Auden made coffee and said nothing.

He wore a T-shirt and sweatpants and sat across from me waiting for a verdict.

I wrote the number one and underlined it.

"Calhoun & Daughters Marine stays in my name," I said. "All of it. The wharf, the house, the warehouse."

"Agreed."

"Perrault Capital invests in the new piers. Forty million."

"Agreed."

"For forty-nine percent of the new harbor company. Not the wharf. Not the land."

"Forty-nine."

"And I hold fifty-one."

He leaned back.

"A fifty-one forty-nine split with a bank," he said slowly, "and a woman who has never run a company."

"I ran my grandmother's books from age sixteen."

"I know. I read them."

"Then you know I've never been wrong about a number."

Something in his face lit.

It was pride.
