Chapter 13: The Price
Odessa did not touch the ring.
She looked at it on the walnut table, and then she looked at me.
"Name it," she said.
"Three things," I said.
"Go ahead," Odessa said.
"I won't say I do. Not to him, not in a whisper, not as a joke for the room."
"You won't have to," Odessa said.
"I won't sign anything as the bride. I won't pick up the pen."
"Hugh signs first. The officiant holds the pen out to you, you don't take it, and I stand up." She wrote something on her legal pad. "Next."
"The money is mine whether he's convicted or not. In my name, with nobody else's on it."
"Paragraph nine says the day he signs. A conviction isn't in it."
"Then put that in writing," I said. "Today."
Odessa picked up her phone and typed for a moment.
"My lawyer will bring it in before you leave. Is that all?"
"No." I took a breath. "He doesn't get to say a single vow."
She raised her eyebrows.
"I'm not standing at an altar while he promises me a life he already promised you. He signs, and he's finished before anyone vows."
