Nina“You didn’t tell me you were going to shock the world tonight,” I was all over the award I received earlier. “I saw the shock on their face, my father, my step-mother, my step-sister, and Leo.”Alexander at the far end of the hall was busy. His cigar was lit and his lips puffed smoke in the air. Beside his seat was a side stool on which was nestled a glass of red wine, but his eyes were on the sofa where I sat“And my extended family, I didn’t just see the shock,” I went on. “They seemed to have known longer than my father realized that May has entirely nothing genuine to offer.”I rose from the seat and made to the shelf in the hall.
