Chapter Twenty

Two weeks later, Celine was an everyday event in Étienne's life. She was more than an event. She was his everything.

Quiet dinners alone at the Arceneaux Plantation.

An occasional dance in town.

A movie at the city's theater.

A play.

Walks in the park.

Étienne had not seen Phillip Arceneaux again. Étienne and Philip were hardly more than strangers, still. Celine had said he had been unwell, and that the doctors had been visiting more than usual.

And then, one morning, Celine appeared in the drawing room of the house he’d leased. Her eyes were bloodshot.

“Father is gone.”

He attended the funeral. A town full of people had come out to bury the man who’d been a part of the past.

They’d placed him to rest at St. Louis Cemetery in New Orleans, amongst a maze of tombs that Étienne would not be likely to find again, at least not easily, nor would he want to.

Phillip had been Celine’s father, though not by birth, but he was not Étienne’s father, though he’d sired him.

And as far as Étienne was concerned, that was that.

Historic and beautiful, ornate ironwork, marble tombs reminiscent of a Greco-Roman style, it was hard for Étienne not to contrast it with his own grandmother’s grave.

Étienne had little memory of the day of Phillip Arceneaux’s funeral, blocked it completely, for reasons he would never discus with anyone and wasn’t even sure he wanted to think of himself.
