A few feet away, the protocol officer who had been watching finally approached.
“Commander Morrie, I apologize. We were expecting you at the reception entrance.”
Brooke looked at her.
“Karen, there’s obviously been some confusion.”
The officer’s expression remained professionally blank.
“I don’t believe there has, Ms. Harcourt. Commander Morrie is tonight’s principal military honoree.”
That sentence traveled.
You could almost feel it moving from table to table.
