Chapter 23: The Vote
"Somebody help her," Cornelia said, half out of her chair.
"I'm here," I said.
I didn't run.
I walked around the table and knelt on the carpet beside Gwyneth, in front of both television cameras.
Her eyes were shut and her mouth was open, pulling in those big, beautiful gulps.
I took her left wrist.
The smartwatch was on it.
I turned it face up toward the nearest lens.
"Sixty-eight," I read off her own watch. "Your watch agrees with me, Gwyneth."
A paramedic from the back knelt on her other side and put two fingers on her neck.
"Sixty-eight, Doc," he said.
Somebody under the bedsheets laughed out loud.
Gwyneth opened her eyes.
They weren't swimming this time.
"Put her in a chair," I told the paramedic. "She'll want to hear this."
He lifted her into her chair, gently.
"New information," I said.
I set my phone on the table beside the microphone and pressed play.
Gwyneth's voice filled the boardroom, light and easy, three glasses of champagne in.
Cornelia's lawyer reached for the phone.
