I looked down.
MOTHER
I stared at the screen.
Claire saw it.
Her face changed.
“Don’t answer.”
That made me answer.
“Hello?”
Margaret did not say hello.
“Adrian, do not believe anything Claire tells you.”
I stood.
Slowly.
My entire body went cold.
“How do you know I’m with Claire?”
Silence.
Then Claire whispered:
“Adrian.”
I looked across the terminal.
Fifty yards away stood Margaret Bennett.
Immaculate coat.
Perfect posture.
Silver hair.
Beside her was our longtime corporate attorney.
He held a thick gray file.
I had spent my entire life thinking my mother was intimidating because she was competent.
In that moment, for the first time, she looked dangerous.
I ended the call.
Walked toward them.
The attorney shifted his grip on the file.
“Adrian.”
“Give me that.”
“This is not an appropriate setting.”
“I didn’t ask.”
Margaret stepped forward.
“You are about to miss a critical business flight.”
“I no longer care.”
“You will.”
“No.”
