Giles had been laughing and trying to referee the shoe-stealing since Deirdre had purchased the shoes special and they sparkled, completely forgetting that babies usually wanted to hold sparkly things and not wear them.
And then someone was yelling and Giles looked up and it was Marina. Marina, who he loved and hadn't wanted to hurt. And she was above him and yelling. Giles passed his son over to Juliette so the nanny could keep him safe, and he stood to take Marina's arm. "Marina, let's talk outside." Inside, his heart was racing and breaking at the same time. He loved her and he loved Deirdre and now they were both in the same room and it wasn't going to end well.
Deirdre was dancing with Evey when she saw a strange woman speaking with Giles. "Paula, who's that?" she asked, as if Paula would have a clue. "Who's there talking to my husband?"
