So things had taken an interesting turn in the “divorcing my ex” category. If you consider him getting me off by dry-humping me against his office wall “interesting.” I could think of a hundred other ways to describe that scenario. Catastrophic ranking right up there with earth-shattering.

That had been yesterday afternoon and Canaan had stayed away from the house later that night when he’d gotten home from the shop. Not that I’d been checking the window or anything to notice his truck roll up the driveway at 9:38 p.m. Nor did I watch him climb the steps up to that garage apartment while I held my breath he’d jog back down them, push past the front door, and give me a repeat of earlier, sans clothing. At the same time, I was crossing my fingers he’d stay locked up in that dark apartment for the rest of the night so I could attempt to figure out where my feelings landed concerning Canaan.

In the end, the crossed fingers came out the victor.

Which felt like more of a defeat for some reason.

Trying to put aside all thoughts of a Canaan-nature—hoping that with a solid break, I’d find some clarity when I came back to them—I spent most of the day in Grandma’s room, managing to begin the process of going through her things. Sorting through her items was easier than I’d expected. She was more than the memories and a million times more than her possessions.

I was midway through her closet when my phone rang. For a moment, I froze; the last call I’d had had come from Reed. For some reason, I was worried it was him, calling to apologize and attempting to patch things up between us. How would that conversation go? With me confessing I’d let my husband-by-law hold me against a wall and make me come?

Not that I cared what Reed did or didn’t think about anything after what had gone down. Two years of sharing my life with someone had boiled down to one phone conversation ending it all. It was so strange how some of the biggest things in life could end in a few short moments.

It almost made me question everything I thought I knew.

My lungs relaxed when I recognized the number on the screen.

“Hey,” I answered, trying to sound natural and like I hadn’t just been dry-fucked by the man on the other end and had the best orgasm I’d had in half a decade. Because that wasn’t pitiful or anything.

“Maggie, I’ve got a big favor to ask you. Huge. I’m sorry to even have to ask—”

“Canaan, chill. What is it?” I asked, not used to him sounding unsure.

“My dad’s caretaker just found out her mom’s been hospitalized and she has to leave to be with her. I’m in Kansas City picking up parts and the soonest I can make it back is three hours.”

I was already jogging down the stairs. “I’ll head over there right now. Won’t take me ten minutes.”

On the other end, he exhaled.
