Chapter 15: The Porch

"So I opened it."
He stood on the mat in a navy suit gone black with sleet, and his lips were the color of slate.
He looked past her shoulder into the hall, and he saw me.
"I'll stay out here," he said. "I only wanted you to see I'm still standing."

"Say it," I said. "I'm not going to ask twice."
"I told you in the elevator that I needed a fiancée for the vote," he said. "That was true."
"I know."
"It wasn't the reason I said it."
