"What
the hell's this?" Harry roared. He slammed the Wall Street
Journal on the table. I assumed he was referring to the story
about Winston Churchill offering $76 a share for Avalon
Industries. Caroline quietly sat next to him and did not look
at me.
"Are you trying to buy our, I mean Caroline's, company? What
do you want with Avalon Industries? I asked you to save the
company, not take it over yourself."
"Harry..."
"I thought I could trust you. This is my reward for that
trust?" He grabbed the newspaper and shook it in my
face. "And after I got you that big house for that party
you're going to throw."
He rose and grabbed Caroline's hand. She looked at me with
moist eyes.
"But Harry..."
"Don't 'but Harry' me. Come on, Caroline, let's go."
He left in a huff, dragging Caroline with him.
