“Hey, boss. I just got the email through on Mia’s court date and time.” Greta comes into my office, papers in hand.

“Finally, luckily she’s here with us and not in danger. There are just not enough judges to get through all the cases. So, when are we up?”

“First thing Monday morning at 9am in Bellevue Court House. At least you have the weekend to get sorted. You know you’re going to need to stay there the night before to be there that early. How will Mia cope with that?” She looks to me for my reaction.

“I don’t even know how she’s going to react to Monday being court day, so telling her that too is going to freak her out, I’m sure. One step at a time, I think. I need to talk to Mason and Ashton first before I broach the subject of her being away from the kids for a night. She’ll hate it, but I just don’t want to risk taking them with us. Plus, she’ll be nervous enough and the kids don’t need to see her like that. If she is on her own, she can just use her energy to get through it and not be worried about protecting them.” I lean back in my chair, my hands clasped behind my head, thoughts racing.

“Can you book two rooms for Sunday night at the best hotel that’s the closest to the courthouse, please? One suite that has two rooms for Mia and me. Then an adjoining room for Ashton. Charge it to my personal credit card, not the work one. In the meantime, I’ll call Mia to tell her about Monday. I’ll wait to talk to her in person about Sunday night, though.”

“On it. I’ll send through the booking details when I’m done. Then I’m off for the day. It’s date night, and Blaine gets to choose tonight. After the week we’ve had here, it better include alcohol, a massage, or both.”

“Too much information, G, just go have fun whatever he manages to pull off.” I laugh to myself.

“Ugh, Lex, you are hopeless. Really, that’s where your mind went?” Greta laughs, making her way towards the door.

“Well, if your mind is not going there on date night then Blaine is not doing it right. Now go. You have things to do, places to be, people to see. Leave me to do all your prep work for Monday while you’re out with your husband. I see how it is. He takes priority.” As I reach out to grab my phone, Greta bursts out laughing.

“He’ll be happy to know he’s the number one man in my life and not you. He kind of put the ring on it and has the piece of paper that proves that. But he’ll be impressed you’ve finally admitted it. PS don’t message me if you need help. I think I might be busy. You can do the junior lawyer grunt work for a change.”

As she closes the door behind her, I know
