CHAPTER TWO

His soon to be ex-wife, Wendy, arrived right on time at eight o’clock, as requested. He was surprised since she was usually twenty minutes late for everything, even for their wedding, she managed to show up late. He had used the idea of talking over their pending divorce as the ruse to get her to stop by. He had even gone so far as to promise to remain civil as long as she did.

When she arrived he was peeking out from behind the front window curtains. He had been too excited and nervous to sit and watch TV or read while he waited, kind of like it was their first date again. As he watched her exit the car, his excitement though turned to horror, because her sister had gotten out of the passenger side of the car.

Together the two of them stomped, side by side, up to the front door and rang the doorbell. He stood frozen at the window, anger boiling up inside him. Shit! She couldn’t even do this right, he thought as she rang the bell again.

“Come on in,” he yelled through clenched teeth as he crossed the room to the sofa and stood behind it. Remember, non-threatening, he told himself. He clamped his hands on the back frame of the couch. They were already white when the door opened and the two women entered.

“I’m surprised it was open. You changed the locks and hired a security service as soon as I left,” Wendy remarked as she crossed the room and sat down in her favorite chair near the fireplace while April, her sister, hovered behind her.

“Hello, nice to see you too,” he stated as he tried to remain as non-threatening as possible. That didn’t mean he couldn’t be sarcastic.

“I’m not here to be nice to you, Tyler, especially since I’ve been locked out of my own home now for what? Four weeks?” she groused.

“It seemed prudent with no one being home most of the time and besides, you moved out, so this isn’t your home any longer.”

“I’ll move back in as soon as you move out, like any self-respecting man would have done.” Wendy was trying to press his buttons, but he didn’t take the bait, this was too important.

“I owned the house before we were married, remember?”

“Robert, the attorney at work, says that doesn’t matter,” April stated as Wendy sat glaring at him.

The thought occurred to him this display of attitude by Wendy was completely misdirected. She had been the one to have an affair. She was the one who broke her vows, not him. If anyone was entitled to an attitude it was him, yet here she was, giving him attitude.

“Oh! Hi, nice to see you, too,” Tyler replied to April’s remark. In response, she gave him a twisted sneer and then looked at her nails when Wendy looked at her.

“Don’t try to change the subject,” Wendy snarled.

“I only said hello,” Tyler stated through gritted teeth.

“You were about to complain I brought her.
