Chapter 23: Her Chair

The Halcyon's ballroom held four hundred people, and every one of them was standing.

It was noon.

Sunlight came through the tall gold windows and fell in long bars across a single table on a low stage.

The table was round, with green baize and a polished rail.

At the head of it stood one chair, higher than the others, with a brass plate on the back.

I stood at the edge of the stage in a navy suit the hotel laundry had pressed overnight.

I had slept three hours.

My hair was down and the patch was gone.

Rafe's mark sat bare above my collar, where anyone who cared to look could see it.

"They've been here since eight," Pearl murmured at my shoulder. "I told them you were in the bath.

"That's why your daughter fell asleep in the front row."

"Where is she?"

"On a pile of coats with a bag of gummy bears.

"A guard sits next to her, and he's terrified."
