Chapter 13: Eighty-Four Thousand

"One name," Dad repeated into his microphone, and he gave the room a patient laugh.

"Chloe is emotional tonight, folks. Let's let her say a few words, and then we'll all have cake."

Nobody laughed with him.

I held the microphone in both hands and found Noah at table fourteen.

He had already stood up, and he was holding the gray folder against his chest.

"I'd like to thank my grandfather," I said.

"He died when I was ten. He left me eighty-four thousand dollars, to be mine in the year I turned eighteen."

A murmur went through the room.

"My father was the trustee. He is the only name on the account."

"Chloe," Dad said, still smiling, "this is a family matter."

"It stopped being a family matter when you booked a ballroom with it."

I walked to the nearest round table and set the folder down on a stranger's bread plate.

A woman in a sequined top looked at it.

I opened to page two.
