Chapter Thirty

As the day went on and I focused on cleaning the house, doing some laundry, and running errands, I was able to release some of the worry that had built up inside me and I began to feel better. I believed I had the upper hand in the situation with Trevor because I knew exactly what was going on, whereas he would only be able to speculate.

As I put the last of the groceries into the cupboards, I wondered if Trevor had received the package yet, and when he would drive to the burial spot and try to dig up the metal box. I decided to check my email and see if he had sent anything. After a moment I was pulling up my email account. I saw an email from Trevor. As I clicked on it, my heart rate increased as I tried to guess what it would say.

Lily,

The package just arrived. Thank you for sending it. I will start the paperwork for the divorce in the morning.

Trevor

I let my breath out in a rush, not aware I’d been holding it. I hoped he would get the paperwork going before he discovered the money was missing. Although he probably wouldn’t suspect me right away.

Loud knocking on the door startled me and I let out a scream. I closed the email and walked to the door, looking through the peephole. It was Marcus. Taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart, I opened the door.

“Marcus. Hi.”

“Hi, Kate. How was your trip?”

“How did you know I was back?”

He motioned over his shoulder. “I saw your car out front.”

“Oh, of course. Do you want to come in?”

“Sure.”

He followed me inside and we sat on the couch. Then I stood. “Let me get your GPS device for you.” I had set it on the kitchen counter when I’d gotten back from Reno. I went and got it and handed it to him.

“Thanks for letting me borrow it. It was really handy to have. I think I might end up getting one.”

“That was a pretty quick trip to Vegas,” Marcus said. “Isn’t it like an eight hour drive?”

“Uh, yeah,” I stammered. “I ended up not going there. I was partway there, but, uh, my friend called and said she had to, uh, she had a family emergency, so she had to cancel. So I turned around and came back home.”

“Oh. That’s too bad that you had to waste all that time and gas.”

“It’s okay. Sometimes it’s nice just to take a drive.”

“Yeah, that’s true,” Marcus said.

“How’s work going?”

“Good. But I don’t want to talk about work.”

“Okay. What do you want to talk about?”

Suddenly a big smile spread across his face. I smiled back, expecting him to share some good news, which I could use after the stress I’d been feeling.

“What’s up, Marcus?”

“Well,” he started. “Do you remember me telling you how I had recently broken up with my girlfriend?”

I remembered he had told me he’d had a girlfriend recently and that they had broken up.
