Chapter 16: A Ring in the Window

Nobody from Tully Shore Holdings had come to change the locks on Keogh Bridal.

I had checked the front door three times that morning, and each time the key turned the same stiff way it always had.

"It's the consigliere," Hazel said, leaning on the counter with her coffee. "He called Joyce on Friday and asked for a week."

"Why would Joyce say yes to that?"

"Because she's scared of him, Deirdre. Everybody's scared of him except you."

I didn't think that was true, but I didn't argue, because I was busy pinning the last of the customers' hems.

The bride from Tuesday had come back with her mother for a second fitting.

She had brought a friend who wanted a gown for a November wedding.

The shop was full of cream silk and tulle.

Two women were arguing about whether a sweetheart neckline could look like a summer dress.

At eleven, Silvio came in through the front door without knocking, and the bell rang over his head.
