Carter stormed around his house picking up dishes and other clutter. What an idiot he was! He’d blown it with Patti. He’d seen it on her face when he didn’t stand up for her against Marcus. He’d failed the test. But all he wanted to do was keep Patti safe—if she’d let him.

The look in her eyes when he’d left her at the hotel…Patti felt betrayed...by him.

Carter tossed the cup in the sink. He heard the sound of breaking glass. Oh, great. He couldn’t even do the dishes right. Picking up the broken pieces of the cup, he threw them in the trash much harder than necessary. He stomped back into the living room.

Patti had been sweet, kind, and understanding, as he talked about Nancy.

He stared up at the picture for a long time, remembering two women...Nancy…and Patti…

“Nancy, I loved you and I still do, but it’s time to put away the past.” He reached up to take the picture down, but hesitated.

Not yet.

With a sigh, he put the picture back. He hoped Patti understood the next time she came--if there was a next time.

By morning, she’d realize how dangerous it would be to go into the lion’s den, so to speak. Patti was smart. She’d figure that out on her own. He reached for the phone but decided against it. They needed a cooling off period. Then they could talk in a more reasonable way. He’d call her first thing in the morning.

Then they could come up with a plan.
