Stand Your Ground: a Novel
“Why? Because I knew what I looked like. There was no need to be embarrassed sooner than I needed to be.
But now I was officially embarrassed.
It was the way all conversation stopped when I stepped out of the bedroom. The way Newt looked at me. And the way Wally actually licked his bottom lip.
And then there was Wyatt. Who beamed like I was a trophy.
“You look beautiful, sweetheart,” he said, getting up and greeting me. I tilted my head the way he liked so that he could give me an air kiss. He w...ouldn’t want to ruin my makeup; he never wanted to ruin my makeup.
I pressed my legs together, hoping that would bring down the hem of my dress, and then I waited for Wyatt to direct me.
“I was just sending Wally to his room with Billy so you, Newt, and I can review what we’re going to do with Ferguson.”
“Okay, let me get Billy dressed,” I said, thinking this might be the perfect out. If I were taking care of my son when Detective Ferguson arrived, I wouldn’t have to see the officer.MoreLess
