Chapter Eleven

Traffic exiting Logan International Airport was horrendous this early in the morning. Molly’s eyes were red-rimmed, her vision still a bit blurry from crying. She had sworn that she wasn’t going to cry when she dropped Kristen off, but she did. Kristen cried, too, but hers were happy, excited tears. Molly would be on pins and needles waiting for her daughter’s call as soon as they landed in Paris. It was a long flight, and she knew she’d have to keep herself busy all day in order to maintain her sanity.

Fortunately, when she’d returned to her bedroom earlier to shower and dress, Tanner was nowhere to be found. When she saw that his car was gone, she’d breathed a sigh of relief. Then she remembered that Holden and Graham were still upstairs, asleep in their rooms. She wasn’t sure what her reaction would be when she came face-to-face with Holden, but it was inevitable, so she decided she would act normal, as though she had no clue about his attack on Emily last year.

It would be hard, but she’d been through this kind of situation before. Sweep it under the rug, close the door, don’t acknowledge what’s right in front of her face, deny, deny, deny. She could do this. She’d had a lifetime of practice.

A horn blared, and she glanced in her rearview mirror. “Sorry,” she said out loud.

She’d swerved over into the right lane, cutting off another driver. He must’ve been in her blind spot. She gave a slight apologetic wave as she took the Goldenhills exit. Molly hated driving on the interstate, but she’d wanted to see Kristen off to the airport. The next two months were going to be the longest of her life.

Twenty minutes later, she was pulling into her driveway. She didn’t bother parking the Mercedes in the garage. With Sally off for the next few days, Molly feared she would be bored to death, but as Kristen suggested, she was going to need a lot of goodie boxes. She could start preparing today, and a possible trip to the market might be in order. She’d freeze whatever she made and ship it to Tennessee when Kristen was settled in her dorm.

She entered the house through the side door that led to the kitchen. Not sure what to expect, she quietly dropped her purse on the counter. She scanned the kitchen, searching for signs that either Tanner or the twins had been here, and saw nothing. The coffeemaker was freshly washed from last night. The dessert plates she’d promised Sally she would wash were still stacked neatly in the dish drainer. Other than the plates, all traces of last night’s dinner were gone. She checked the formal dining room. It, too, was as she’d left it before Tanner’s tirade last night. She saw that the bar was immaculate, no empty glasses or liquor bottles lying around, nothing to indicate she’d neglected her household duties. She peered into the formal living room, and all was as it should be.
