CHAPTER 60

When the front door stopped reverberating, a heavy silence fell in the room.

Kate couldn’t move. She just stood, staring at the door. Kate felt the tingle of desperation creep into her mind.

“Don’t you dare follow him,” Grace said behind her.

Kate spun around. “Haven’t you done enough, Grace?” she bit. Grace took a step back. “Mac is gone. He’s mad as hell, and I asked you not to say anything about Paris.”

Grace’s eyes skittered away. “I’m sorry, Kate. I- I couldn’t stop it. He provoked me.”

Kate walked over to her and got within inches of her face. “Don’t you dare blame him. We were having a conversation. So what if he has a skewed male view about this? He was making small talk, that’s it. Was it so damned hard to have a nice, simple evening? Do you have to turn everything into a battle, Grace?”

Grace took a deep breath. “I’m sorry,” she murmured, “I just can’t stand—”

“What can’t you stand, Grace?” Kate interrupted her. “That I’m happy with Mac or that I’m not with Nick? I mean, that’s what this is all about, right? You trying to prove that Mac is a flawed human?”

“He’s more than flawed, Kate.”

Kate turned away from her and walked into the living room.

“Get out.” Her voice was hot and angry. Grace flinched.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered.

“Go.”

Kate didn’t even look at her friend but stared out the tall window into the darkened city. From behind her, she heard the door close quietly and then the distant ding of the elevator.

Her friend was gone.

The evening was officially over.
