“They had one thousand guests. Gavin answered the phone and took the credit card for the final table, and it was he who led the celebration—high- fiving Lock and hugging and kissing Isabelle, Claire, and Siobhan, all of whom were in the office, ironing out the catering details.Also on Monday, the late summer issue of NanMag was released, featuring the article about Nantucket’s Children and the summer gala. The text of the article was long, and preachy about the cause in some places, but no worri...es—few people would actually read it. What mattered were the photographs! There was a shot of Lock standing in front of the Elijah Baker House, surrounded by half a dozen children; there was a shot of the chandelier (unwired), taken in Claire’s hot shop; there was an old snapshot that Claire had dug up of herself and Matthew in high school—they were in the sand dunes on Wildwood Beach, Matthew holding his guitar, Claire staring moodily at the ocean; there was a photograph of Claire and Lock sitting side by side (though not touching) on the edge of Lock’s desk.They were in the office when they looked at the article—Isabelle was actually the one who got ahold of the copy of NanMag, hot off the press—and all of them skimmed through it together, Lock holding the magazine while Gavin, Isabelle, Claire, and Siobhan read over his shoulder.MoreLess
