Skylar had her hand over her mouth, but she was smiling behind it.
The chair of the board held out her hand for the paper.
Vincent walked it down the table to her, taking his time.
He passed my chair on the way.

"She signed it on her dock on Saturday," he said. "With a birthday cake in the kitchen. She doesn't remember. That's sort of the point."
A few people shifted in their chairs.
"May I?" I said to the chair.
She looked at me over her glasses for a long moment.
Then she slid the proxy across the table to me, with a pen and a notepad.
