Chapter 7 - The Dramatic Version
Years later, people still told the dramatic version.
The elegant baby-shower patio.
The floral pergola.
The gold-and-white balloon arch.
Amelia eight months pregnant, holding the donation box with trembling hands.
Diane stepping closer.
That money belongs to this family.
Amelia clutching the box.

Diane shoving the dessert table.
Water, cake, and flowers spilling across the stone.
Amelia slipping down, one arm around her belly.
Mara shouting, Ethan, help her!
Diane pointing and crying.
She caused this herself!
Kyle filming the lie.
Then the camera under the dessert table blinking red.
Ethan seeing it.
The camera caught everything.
