“Now,” Vanessa said quietly, “listen to what they have to say. I’ll be taking notes. Don’t tell them I’m here or they might get antagonistic.”
Lydia nodded, her throat too choked for her to say anything.
“And relax,” Vanessa murmured as she sipped her soda.
Lydia concentrated on her breathing as she waited, trying to maintain an exterior calm when her insides trembled so hard she thought the table would shake.
A shadow fell over her and she glanced up. David slid into the booth across from her and Leon followed. Both men stared at her. David looked slightly petulant while Leon’s cold eyes appraised Lydia.
“Good evening,” she said as politely as she could manage even though her throat was so tight she could barely speak.
“Let’s dispense with the pleasantries,” Leon replied. A waitress approached and both men ordered bourbon. David’s was over ice; Leon preferred his neat.
“Of course,” Lydia said, expecting exactly that.
David shrugged while Leon looked astonished at her being agreeable.
“David and I have decided that it would be in Maya’s best interest if one of us had custody of her.”
Shocked, Lydia could only stare. Take a breath before you speak, she heard Vanessa’s voice in the back of her head. She took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down before she said anything.
“Why would you think that?” She put her hands in her lap so they wouldn’t see her shaking.
“Look at this place,” Leon said, disgust clearly on his face. “You can’t raise a sensitive child, like Maya, in a casino. This place is tawdry, pedestrian and vulgar. She needs to go home to New Orleans.”
