Chapter 16

Paige

I spot my client at the far end of the bar, sitting at the counter with a drink in front of her. Noticing me, she raises her hand in greeting, and I start to make my way over to her. The room is as busy as the hotel is, filled with people in professional attire, which I’m assuming has something to do with the sign that was in the lobby the day I arrived, welcoming the attendees of some sort of medical conference—I forget which specialty.

Caroline looks at ease, sitting there in her casual summer dress, sipping her drink. She could easily be the owner of the place, making sure it operates smoothly. Or a queen, surveying her domain.

As I take a seat on the stool next to hers, she asks me my drink preference, and when I tell her a gin and tonic, she flags down the bartender and orders for me. While she banters and borderline flirts with the young and cute guy, I’m wondering again why she texted me a couple of hours ago to request this meeting. Need to talk, was all she wrote then, which struck me as ominous. There’s nothing in her face at the moment to give me any hints.

“I’m sorry about this morning,” she finally says, flattening her lips. “I can’t believe I lost control like that. It’s infuriating that he knows exactly how to push my buttons.”

“Trust me, I get it.” My stomach clenches as memories flash through my mind. Logan’s face, twisting with fury and determination. Saying we were not a mistake. That he wants me back.

And then putting his hands on me.

Feeling flushed, I clear my throat. “So does that mean the rest of your hike went okay?”

She nods. “We made a deal the first day here: no discussing divorce issues without our attorneys. So yeah, it was fine.”

“That’s good.” Too bad I can’t say the same for myself.

At least I made it back to the cabin on my own. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon hiding in my room. Which I know makes me a coward, but that’s okay. If I thought there was any point to another confrontation with him, I’d suck it up and get it over with. Since there’s not, I accepted that I was being a wimp and moved on.

After getting cleaned up, I had a couple of granola bars for lunch, and then I spent the rest of the day catching up on work. And the whole time I could hear him moving around the cabin, which meant I was bracing myself for a knock on the door…which never came.

As soon as the front door shut, I ordered dinner from room service, and while I waited for that to show up, I Skyped with my kids again. Then Caroline’s message arrived, and I got busy getting myself ready to go out in public, throwing on the outfit I brought just in case I needed to dress up at some point on this vacation: a red floral lace bodycon dress with black strappy heels.
