Chapter 19: The Clause
The Carrington Bank dinner was held under a glass dome in the Seaport.
Four hundred people in black tie watched me walk in on Weston's arm.
I wore the green dress.
He wore the blue tie.
A hush rolled ahead of us across the marble.
In the hush I heard my own heels, and under them I heard him say, very low, "Breathe."
"I am."
"Then keep doing it."
His hand sat warm on the small of my back.
Blythe Carrington stood at the head table in a cream gown, with her platinum hair swept up.
Her father stood on one side of her and a man with a microphone on the other.
She saw us.
Her pale eyes went from my face to Weston's, and then to his hand on my spine.
For one second I watched her lose.
Then she smiled, and walked down the steps to meet us.
"Lily," she said. "What a surprise."
"Blythe."
"I'm so glad you came. I was telling Daddy that we owe you so much."
She took my hand in both of hers, soft and cold.
"You've been so brave about all this."
