CHAPTER FOUR

Madison

“Later, babes,” Mason and Sam said with huge grins on their faces, as they headed out the door.

“Bye, Mom,” Dylan said kissing me on the cheek.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to come along?” I pleaded with Ty.

“No, we will be fine.”

“Are you sure?” I asked again, putting my hands in prayer position and touching my fingertips to my nose.

I really was worried for Ty. Mason and Sam could be a handful but I knew Dylan would help to keep the two in line. Carter was never a problem, so I knew everything would be fine there.

“Yes,” Ty said pulling me into a fierce hug and kissing the top of my head. “We will be fine.”

“Okay.”

“Relax, we will be back in a few hours. I have a surprise for you.”

I gave him a look just when he dipped out of the door, shutting it behind him.

“Mommy, do you want to watch a movie with me?” Kacey said getting my attention.

She was standing in the middle of the kitchen floor, holding a DVD in her hand.

“Of course.” I took it from her looking her over.

We were watching Tangled for the umpteenth time this Sunday it seemed. I made us both two sandwiches and settled in the living room in front of the television. I looked around taking in the room that I never got to sit in because Mason, Sam, and Carter were always in here, hogging the television with their video games. The couch was always also taken up by Dylan, since it was technically his bed. I shut my eyes for a long moment while Kacey settled next to me, crossing her legs.

It was quiet here. It was never quiet here.

I sighed and slumped against the back of the sofa, picking up the stack of papers that I’d picked up over the past few days. They were an assortment of divorce forms. The clerk at the court office told me that if I couldn’t find Dominic, I would have to divorce him by putting an official notice of divorce in the newspaper, in the city of wherever I thought he could be. I had a hundred places to choose from and narrowed it down to either Cleveland, since that’s where his brother was, or Houston, Texas. It was possible Dominic could even have been in Las Vegas, Nevada since commercial construction there was booming, enabling him to find work.

A University of the Arts application was in the pile as well. I grabbed a pen and flipped through everything, watching the movie on the television in between.

The jangle of keys and the rustling of bags brought my attention back to the kitchen.

“Hey, Mads,” Zita said setting some packages down.

“Hey,” I said standing and walking towards her, taking in her confused expression.

“Groceries.”

“Where are the girls?”

“With my mom,” she said.

“Oh.”

“Where is everyone?”

“I’m here!” Kacey yelled from the living room.

“Um, Ty took the boys to a baseball game?”

“All four of them?” Zita asked, with an incredulous look on her face.

“Yeah,” I said slipping my hands in my pockets.
