Chapter 23: Run of Show
I read the line twice while the elevator dropped.
Mrs. Kaitlyn Pelham.
In bold, so the master of ceremonies wouldn't miss it.
The assistant watched me read it.
The doors opened on the lobby.
I folded the packet into my blazer and walked out past the donor wall.
My cheek burned all the way home.
That night my mother's kitchen was full.
Ruthann held a bag of frozen peas to my face and wouldn't let me take it off.
Morgan sat at my father's place with his bad leg up on a chair.
Crew Nine took the rest of the table.
The kid, the big one who hummed and the lieutenant, who had the run of show in front of him and his reading glasses on.
"Nine o'clock," the lieutenant read. "Dessert service."
"Skip the dessert," Ruthann said.
"I don't skip dessert," said the big one.
"Nine ten. Honoree remarks. Mr. Morgan Hadwin. Two minutes."
Everybody looked at Morgan.
"I've never talked for two minutes in my life," he said.
"Nine fifteen," the lieutenant went on. "Announcement of the new chief of trauma surgery."
