Andrew stayed away. Hours later, when even his little Gracie was probably drunk, Charles and Nash ended up side by side with a bottle of whiskey between them, their feet kicked up on the edge of the table. He spotted Andrew across the room talking to a woman, thank god, though probably not one the boy would ever fall in love with. Tall and dead pale, like the deracinated endgame of generations of milk drinkers, with a battlefield of frizzy red hair stuck out all around her, she was at least a decade older than Andrew.

Nash followed Charles’s gaze. “Dorrie Van Sleyd. She’s still living in her family’s old plantation house as well, though half of hers is open to snap-happy tourists at the weekend. Maybe that’s what I should be considering.”

Charles turned his attention back to Nash. His friend. His compatriot. Proud member of a dwindling southern aristocracy made up of Anglophiles and drunks. If the world had continued the way it should have, if Charles had stayed in the China he was meant for, he never would have met Nash almost thirty years ago, when this brother in arms was one of the only white men living on a tree-lined block of Monterey Park in L.A.’s San Gabriel Valley.
