“So can you believe this shit?” Kate says, skipping hello.

My stomach flips at the sound of her voice. “Finally! Are you okay? Where have you been?”

“Here at home, trying to avoid both my mother and the media. Not to mention my husband.”

“Did you get my messages? I’m dying to get over there. Oh, Kate. What happened?”

She laughs. “Well, my husband fucked his assistant. That’s what happened.”

“Oh, Kate.”

“Yep. What a guy. It’s a perfect Washington story. A reporter told me. Called me in the middle of the night. I could still hear him talking when I threw the phone across the room.”

“Oh, no. Oh, Kate.”

“Gotta love this town.

“I mean, it’s not like I should be surprised,” she continues. “Did you see what I did to him? His eye? I don’t know what got into me, Waverly. I’ve never done anything like that before.”

“So you did hit him?”

“Well, I didn’t exactly hit him. I threw a shoe at him.” She laughs. “And then I pushed him over and kicked him—hard—where it counts.”

“Oh, Kate.” It’s hard to imagine Kate physically harming someone, like picturing a swan in a dogfight.

“He just rolled over. Like the spineless piece of shit that he is. And then he left. Off to work as usual.”

“What are you going to do, Kate?”

“Oh, I’m leaving him. Or I guess, more accurately, I’m kicking him out.”

“You’re sure? That quickly?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” she says. “He’s done. There’s no ‘three strikes, you’re out’ with me.”

It’s surprising that she can be so certain, so soon. “I’m dying to get over there, Kate.”

“I don’t think you could even get to the house, Wave. And I don’t want you to end up on TV.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

“Nope, got it covered. Has anyone tried to call you yet? Any reporters?”

“No, nothing.” I know they will inevitably show up at some point. Soon after Brendan announced his candidacy, a newspaper reporter came into the bakery to interview me about Kate. She wanted to know everything from the names of her college boyfriends to the name of her hairdresser.

“They’ll be there, so be ready,” says Kate.

“What should I tell them?”

“Just ‘no comment.’ I’ll answer all of their questions myself. I’m going to release a statement, probably tomorrow morning.”

“Are you going to say anything about the shoe?”

“Why should I?”

“Amy says they’re already talking about it on the news.”

“Well, fuck them! It’s not as if I wasn’t provoked. I’m the victim here.”

“Right.” She is, isn’t she? This is different from Amy and Mike, undoubtedly. You can’t even compare the two. But still…

“I’ll call you later. I’m fine, so don’t worry.”

“Okay.” I wait a beat, considering. “Hey, Kate?”

“What?”

“I love you.”

She groans. “I’m fine, Waverly,” she says. “And I love you, too.”
