Chapter Sixteen

Andrew wasn't in any better of a mood the next morning. He tried talking to Kyle again, but all he got were grunts in return, so he gave up. Spoiled kid. He headed out to his car. He doesn't appreciate anything.

The day was sunny, and the trees that lined the neighborhood streets were beginning to turn vibrant yellows and reds, but Andrew didn't notice any of it. He was too angry. How would you know what Mom thinks? Kyle had asked last night. Andrew wondered what his son had meant by that. Did Kyle know what happened between him and Maggie? Did Maggie tell him? That thought really infuriated him. What happened between him and Maggie was between them, and there was no reason to bring the kids into it.

Since he didn't have to drive Kaia to school this morning, he headed directly to the office and started work early, like he used to before Maggie left. It felt good, working early in the morning before the office became busy and noisy. He had his own office, since he was the lead advertising associate and needed the privacy to talk to clients. But that didn't stop the noise from filtering in as the rest of the staff talked to customers on the phone or people grouped together, gossiping in the hallways. Today, he was able to complete a load of work by coming in that extra hour early.

A little after noon, the bookkeeper came in and dropped off the daily deposit for the bank. Andrew had been taking the deposit to the bank every day for years. Since he usually left the office to talk to clients, it saved a trip for the bookkeeper, so he didn't mind doing it.

He'd had a productive morning, and it felt good. As he slipped on his suit jacket and headed out to his car, his thoughts turned once more to Maggie. He decided it was time to stop acting defensively and to just talk this out with her. He didn't want to fight anymore. He wanted to just get past everything that had happened between them and move forward. Tonight, when he got home, he'd call her and have a long conversation with her about their future. He hoped the conversation would end with her coming home.

Andrew headed into the bank and dropped off the bank deposit with one of the tellers. He had been banking here his entire life, since he was ten years old and had saved money by mowing lawns and shoveling snow for neighbors, so he knew almost everyone who worked here. He'd either gone to school with them, or he knew them through his parents. He even knew some of the young tellers because Kyle had gone to school with them. It was a comfortable place for him to come to, and he waved and smiled at employees as he walked past them toward the door.

From the corner of his eye, Andrew saw Charles Larson, one of the bank's loan officers, hurriedly walking toward him with a folder in his hand.
