“Now, you listen,” Kate said, pointing to Mac. “I think you should go mingle, or leave, or whatever you planned on doing. I’m going to go see if Vivienne is all right.”

Then she turned to Nick, “Babe, I’m sorry. If I had known…” She shook her head. “I honestly had no idea. I would never intentionally blindside you like this. I hope you know that.” When she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, Nick’s frown started to fade.

“Andrew, unless you plan to stay, I think Nick could use some company right now.”

“I’m fine,” Nick insisted.

She put a hand on his arm, “Please, babe, go with Andrew. I might be a while.”

“I should be the one to talk to her,” he said, his voice flat but his eyes still hot.

Kate shook her head, “No, neither one of you should talk to either of them tonight. Is that understood?”

She turned to Mac and he nodded.

“You’re both too hotheaded around this issue,” she added. “And I think the two of them need some distance. I’m just going to make sure Vivienne gets home safely, and then I’ll meet you at our apartment, okay?” She smiled at her husband, who took her hand.

“Go take care of her. I’ll be fine.”

Daniel.

She hesitated a moment before walking toward him. Was speaking to him about her sister-in-law such a great idea? Probably not, but it would seem that someone needed to get to the bottom of what was going on, and she knew neither Nick nor Mac could do so with a clear head.

“Daniel,” she said softly. When he turned, his face told her all she needed to know. He looked crushed, but also distressed.

He turned back facing traffic and said, “I screwed this up, Kate. I really screwed this up.”

“Daniel, why didn’t you tell her who you were related to? I mean right from the start?”

He turned back to her, his eyes glistening. The poor man was rocked to his core.

“I did try, but not hard enough. My only excuse was I didn’t fully appreciate how much she hates my father,” he shrugged. “At first I had no idea who she was, and then we had dinner. She told me about being an author, and that’s when I figured it out.” There was a heavy sigh, and a horn blared in the background. Taxis pulled up to the curb, emptying and then refilling again. Daniel was silent for a long moment. Kate moved a bit closer, so she could hear him.
