Chapter 13: Replaced
Nobody in the room moved except Annora.
She let go of the silver-templed man's arm and crossed the floor alone, and eighty people stepped out of her way without being asked.
Kendrick still held the microphone.
His smile stayed on his face.
"Annora," he said into it, and the speakers boomed it back at us. "You came."
"I did, darling." She stopped in front of him and looked up with enormous tenderness. "You said you wanted everything out loud tonight."
"I did say that."
"May I?"
She held out her hand for the microphone.
He gave it to her.
He was a man who always handed over the microphone when the room was watching.
"Everyone, one minute," Annora said, and I knew the cadence, because I had heard it on Thursday. "I want to thank someone."
She turned the full warmth of her face on him.
"I learned to say things out loud, and I learned to plan. It took practice."
Kendrick's smile finally slipped.
