Chapter 15: The Powder Room
Galina read the card over my shoulder and said a word in Russian that made Ilya close his eyes.
"He invites you to watch him marry the liar," she said. "To make you small."
"I know."
"So you go." She tapped the card. "And you are not small."
On Saturday night the restaurant on Hanover Street had candles in every window.
There was a line of black cars double-parked down the block, and a crowd of tourists filming the men at the door.
Ilya's driver stopped right in front.
Ilya got out first and held his hand down to me.
I took it.
I was in black silk, plain and long, with my hair up and my mother's rosary in my clutch.
His mother's ring was on my left hand.
The doorman at the restaurant saw who it was and forgot how to open a door.
Inside, it was every Italian family from the North End to Revere, packed shoulder to shoulder under the old photos.
The captains were at the bar.
Gianluca's mother sat at the family table at the back, very straight, in grey, with a glass of wine she wasn't drinking.
When she saw me, she looked at my stomach first.
