Kissed My Rival, Hear His Mind novel · Chapter 29 of 32
Chapter 29: Partner
Godfrey Lippincott straightened, and walked on to the door.
It swung shut behind him on its slow brass arm.
The whole ballroom let out its breath, and people began, tentatively, to talk.
Declan turned to Eli.
His face was grey.
"What did he say?"
He asked it aloud, in his level voice, because there was no other way left for him to ask.
Eli told him.
"You'll never know if he'd have told you."
Declan took it.
He looked at the tablecloth, and his hand moved a quarter inch toward Eli's and stopped.
"He's right," he said, thickly. "I don't know. I'd like to say I would have. I can't prove it."
"No."
"You can't hear me anymore."
"No."
"So you'll have to decide, without it."
Eli waited for the old reflex, the one that reached for the voice and found nothing.
Without the voice he had a pale man in a borrowed tuxedo.
Declan's hands lay flat on a white cloth, and he was not asking Eli for a single thing.
"I know what you did when it cost you," Eli said.
