Chapter 10: Pearls
The card on the counter said *Mrs. Lauren Boykin, Gaston Street*, and on the back, in a neat hand, *Thursday, four o'clock. Do come.*
I went.
I wore Brendan's coat and my best boots, and I walked the last mile from the bus, because I wanted to arrive angry.
The Boykins' garden was the kind that gets photographed.
Lauren sat at a white wrought-iron table under an arbor of wisteria with a silver teapot in front of her.
Three women in cardigans and pearls sat at the next table, with their heads bent over a crossword and their ears pointed at us.
Kinsley stood at Lauren's elbow, pouring.
"Annabelle," said Lauren. "How good of you to come."
"I came for the tea."
"Sit."
I sat.
Kinsley set a cup in front of me with her eyes lowered.
She wore a pale pink sweater and a headband, and she looked about sixteen.
"I'll be quick," Lauren said. "I know who Brendan Monahan is. The newspaper has been very full of him."
"He's been very full of me," I said.
At the next table somebody coughed into a napkin.
