CHAPTER EIGHT

Kelly wasn’t there when he came home. Lars walked through the empty kitchen. He checked his texts. Nothing. No note on the refrigerator. He dialed her cell phone, then heard it ringing in the half-bathroom off from the kitchen. He picked it up. Kelly had a problem with keys and cell phones. She often forgot where she’d put them. Apparently on the day they eloped, she had earlier left her cell phone on the top of her car before driving off.

He telephoned her studio, thinking that she might have gone there, but there was no answer.

She wouldn’t be visiting her parents, they were still on their cruise.

So where was she?

It was nine-o’clock. She might have run out to the grocery store or a fast food place to get a bite to eat, but there were dinner dishes in the sink, which meant she’d already eaten.

Lars drummed his fingers on the arm of the couch. He turned on the television, then turned it off again.

He walked back to the kitchen to see if she’d left a note on the counter or the back door. She hadn’t. With Kelly, there was no telling where she might be, or when she might come home.

If she came home.

After half an hour, he looked up Nigel’s number on Kelly’s phone and pressed the call button.

He remembered what she’d said four months ago

At least Nigel loves me.

After four rings, Nigel answered the phone. “Talk fast, babe, I’m heading out the door,” he said impatiently.

Lars had never known what Kelly saw in him, but that was his jealousy talking. “This is Lars,” he said simply. “Is Kelly with you?”

Nigel laughed rudely. “That’s rich. What’s the matter, have you lost your wife?”

Nigel covered the receiver, but Lars could still hear a feminine voice in the background. Was that Kelly?

“Shh,” Nigel hissed, apparently covering the receiver with his hand. “Let me talk on the phone, will you?”

Lars waited until Nigel returned to the phone and said, “May I speak to her, please?”

“Sorry, she’s not here. But if I see her, I’ll tell her you’re looking for her.” He laughed again.

Lars touched the screen, ending the call.

That had been an exercise in futility. He still didn’t know whether or not Kelly was with Nigel. He ran his hands through his hair.

He’d hoped that he and Kelly were building a relationship, but all they’d been doing was playing house, waiting until the baby was born.

If only he knew what Kelly wanted. Did she want them to have a real marriage or was she just making the best of a bad situation? With her mercurial temperament, it was impossible to tell.

But he’d be damned before he’d let Nigel win by default.

He’d fight for Kelly every way he knew. He didn’t know whether it would work, but he wasn’t going to give her up without a struggle.

He tried to think of something concrete he could do to change the rules, to make their marriage more stable. Kelly was right, they needed to
