Just as I was getting Clarissa to bed Adam called.

“How’d it go?” I asked.

“Good news and bad news. Let me talk to Clarissa first before she goes to bed and then I’ll tell you all about it.”

Clarissa talked to her dad for about ten minutes and then passed the phone back to me.

“Call ya right back,” I told him.

I gave her a hug and tucked her into bed, which now seemed like such a natural thing to do. Then I called Adam back.

“So what’s the deal?” I said.

I heard a deep sigh come across the phone line.

“Well, we kinda sorta won. The judge ruled that it’s not in the best interest of the child to be traveling back and forth once a month to Georgia. Of course, that brought forth buckets of crocodile tears from Carrie Sue. However, the judge went on to say that if the mother could get herself to Cedar Key, the permanent residence of Clarissa, then she would grant her visitation twice a month.”

I gripped the phone tighter. “What? Are you saying that Carrie Sue is moving to Cedar Key?”

“Well, I’m not saying that for certain—but…yeah, she has the option to do so, and if she does, then she’ll have visitation with Clarissa. But, honey, I seriously doubt that Carrie Sue’s going to be willing to come to the island to live.”

“And I seriously doubt that you fully understand a woman determined to get her own way. Oh, Adam, what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?”

“Monica, please don’t worry. It’ll all work out.”

“How was it left? Did Carrie Sue speak to you after the hearing? Did she say what her plans were?”

“No. I have no clue what she’s planning. All she said was that she’d be in touch, and she left the courthouse with her attorney.”

Great. Just great. This was exactly what I sure as hell did not need—the ex-wife coming to live in the same town.
