Chapter7

Elise had been working hard at her new stores while still being careful with her pregnancy; she had managed to find a good balance between work and her health and personal life. The baby that she was carrying had grown to seven months within her. It moved and kicked, bounced around with hiccups, and nudged her ribs sharply from time to time.

She was visiting one of her stores on the Embarcadero one afternoon, stopping in to see that everything was going well and to pick up accounting records. She said goodbye to her staff and walked out the front door, but she hadn’t gotten three steps when a flash in her face blinded her and she stopped to blink and look around. The flashes continued and she put her hands up to block them, realizing that they were camera flashes.

She turned her head, looking to see what was happening and found herself in the center of a swarm of people who suddenly began pelting questions at her, all of them talking loudly, speaking over each other, moving quickly to get different angles of her in their camera lenses. Several of them had microphones pointed at her face and she drew in a sharp breath, trying to steady herself and make some sense of it all.

One woman stepped closer to her than all the others, and shouted the loudest, causing all of the other reporters to quiet so they could hear Elise’s answer.

“How is your husband going to defend himself in court?” the woman’s weathered face was too close to Elise’s, and her words were strange to Elise, they made no sense at all.

“What? What did you say?” she asked in confusion, looking around at them.

“Do you think he is a racist?” shouted another reporter.

Elise knitted her brow and scowled at the man. “I think you have the wrong person!” she said a bit sharply.

“Elise, do you have any comment about your husband’s actions or the charges he will be facing?” the woman shot another question at her as the cameras flashed and clicked.

She stopped in her tracks and stared at the reporters around her. They knew her name. They knew who she was and where she would be. She couldn’t understand how they knew that or how they knew her. She couldn’t understand anything they said. David wasn’t involved in a court case.

“Will you be supporting him through his trial?” another man asked.

Elise stared at all of them and shook her head. “I don’t have anything to say to any of you!” she called out loudly, and just then, two of the men who worked in her café came rushing outside and guarded her, pushing the reporters away and walking with her to her car.

She felt tears stinging her eyes, confusion raging through her head and her heart began to pound wildly. “Who are those people?” she asked the staff that had come to help her. “What are they talking about?” The men got her into her car quickly and pushed the reporters back further while she started the engine.
