Chapter Twelve

April smiled as she looked out the kitchen window. Eddie and Marcus were testing out their new poles down on the dock. Eddie had insisted that they come back here after their trip to the mall, and Marcus had been more than happy to. She’d insisted that if they were coming to his house again, then the least she could do was make dinner for them all.

She loved this house. It may not be fancy, but it was homey. And it couldn’t be in a better spot. She loved the kitchen as she made her way around it. It was perfect. Not too big, not too small and it just felt…right. She’d hated Guy’s house. For all the year’s she’d lived there, she’d never thought of it as home. She’d never felt like she belonged there. She sighed as she sliced the onions. And now if she wanted to, she could fight him for half of it. She could fight for half the ranch, half of everything. She’d never felt like she had any claim to any of it anyway, so why would she want it now? She knew the answer; she should want it for Marcus. She shook her head. Or at least Colt, the police officer, thought she should. She looked out the window again. Marcus was chatting away to Eddie, who was actually listening to him, and laughing at something he said. Marcus had never had that in his life before. That was what was really important, wasn’t it? Having people in his life who cared about him, who wanted the best for him. What would happen if she tried to fight Guy? In her experience, Guy always won in the end.

She jumped at the sound of her phone ringing and ran to get it from her purse. She didn’t recognize the number. “Hello?”

“You’re not home yet.”

Cold fingers of dread crept their way down her back. “What makes you think that?” She wanted him to admit that he was here in California.

He didn’t. “You didn’t answer your landline.”

“What do you want?”

“Your answer.”

“To what?”

“You know damned well what. Are you going to sign it and send it back to me? You know it’s the best thing you can do.”

“I need to think about it.”

His laugh sounded cruel, it always had. “Think? You? You’re not the brightest little bitch. Do as you’re told. Sign it. Send it back and you’ll be all right.”

“And what if I don’t?”

“You don’t really want to know the answer to that. Neither does Marcus.” He hung up.

April stood there shaking, still staring at the phone in her hand.

“Hey, Mom!” Marcus came trotting into the kitchen. “Eddie…” He stopped when he saw the look on her face. He looked at the phone she was still holding up. “It was him, wasn’t it?”

She went to him and wrapped her arms around him. She needed the comfort as much as she thought he might. “It’s okay.”

Marcus stared up at her with his big scared eyes. “Is he going to make us go back?”

She shook her head adamantly.
