Chapter 15: The Trade
"A dozen men," Orazio said. "I can have a dozen men in his house in forty minutes."
He had said it four times, and his hand lay flat on the kitchen table.
"And you promised me no shot at that house," I said.
"I promised before he took Gwen."
"You promised with Fabrizia carrying my child."
Fabrizia, at the end of the table with her cut lip and a cup of ginger tea, went very still.
I had said "my child" in front of everyone, and I had not planned to.
Nobody corrected me.
"Then what do I do?" said Orazio. "Tell me, and I'll do it."
"Trade me," said Fabrizia.
We all turned.
"It's what he asked for. My husband never wanted a girl from a salon. He wants his property back."
"No," I said.
"Tabby, I'm the one he's angry at."
"You're not property, and nobody here trades anybody."
I took a ballpoint pen from Nunzio's pocket, where it lived between two mints, and turned over the paper on the table.
It was Gwen's color chart for a client, with a square of dark violet stapled to the corner.
