Out in the hallway, Bent and Bach looked at each other. “That’s our cue.”

Pam tapped her headset. “And we’re bringing out the cake. . . .”

Bach grabbed one handle of the massive rolling base, Bentley the other. “Holy crap,” Bach coughed. It was like trying to push a VW Bug.

“Push harder,” Bent whispered. Bach nodded, and they stared up at the cake, straining as they moved it slowly forward.

It had been molded and baked and frosted to resemble a towering stack of six Tiffany’s boxes, all in pale blue buttercream, with the classic white buttercream ribbon. The whole stack was probably bigger than the Royces’ Sub-Zero. The center box was made to look like it was open, and on a white chocolate disk in the very middle of that was a black velvet ring box—also open—to display what would forever be known as Porsche Royce’s Engagement Ring.

In a matter of seconds, at least half the population of the planet (if Lifespan’s nice numbers held) would be looking at the same seven-karat (that was the number Bent had heard from Mercedes), emerald-cut, platinum-set solitaire ROCK of a ring that looked to Bentley to be the size of a golf ball.64

“HOLY CRAP!” Bentley said, again, under her breath. “You could probably kill someone with that thing.”

Bach nodded. “Like brass knuckles, only harder, right?”

“How will she be able to move her arm?” Bent stared.

“I don’t know. Maybe she won’t.”

“Go, go, go,” Pam said, holding her headset with one hand.

Bent and Bach went back to rolling the cake forward. The crew—Mac and Ted and JoJo—shoved the table from behind so they could pick up speed.

“Remember,” Pam said, looking at Bentley, “I want joy.”

“Joy.” Bent nodded.

“Don’t forget.” Pam was dead serious, as always. “Give me some freaking joy.”

Ted and Mac ran ahead to open the French doors. JoJo flipped on the hall light. Suddenly Bent could see the writing on the cake—bold silver and gold letters carved into the thick white curls of the largest piece of white frosting ribbon.
