CHAPTER SIX

Nick drove up his driveway to find the strange BMW blocking his usual parking spot. He settled for a spot down the driveway a ways, near Nora’s parked car. As he neared it, he saw something move inside. Nora?

She ran a hand through her hair. He rolled down his window, and she followed his example.

“Honey? What are you doing?” he asked, confused.

Her lipstick had smudged a little to the right of her face. She didn’t seem to notice the slight imperfection.

“What do you think I’ve been doing? I got home from work and they’re still here. I’m not going in the house with those two in there. I would have thought the police would have come by now,” she snapped.

“I’m going to look for another lawyer in the morning, I’m sure someone else will get this resolved, so calm yourself down.”

“Someone else? What happened to Derek?” she said, her voice raising a pitch.

He rubbed his temples, weary from the day’s events. He had hardly been able to work all day, and they had lost the big deal.

“Derek is useless. He told me we can’t do much right now, that it’s going to take time,” he scoffed. “I’ll look for another lawyer in the morning,” he repeated.

Nora sat listening to her husband and couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“The amount of money you have given that man and you can sit there calmly saying you will look for another lawyer in the morning?” Her entire body trembled. “You expect me to spend another night in my own home with those two kids here, and there is nothing you can do about it?”

He can’t handle his own, Nora’s mind told her, as it had all day. Her parents had been right. She’d been a fool. Nick had been good to her and the kids, but when push came to shove, he couldn’t do anything. Nora was livid, and what irritated her even more was her husband didn’t appear to be fazed about the situation at all.

Nick could not hold his anger back anymore.

“Do you know what, Nora? I am angry about the situation and was livid in the meeting with Derek this morning. I threatened him and said I would change the locks and kick those two kids out. But nothing worked, and if we don’t handle this situation calmly with the advice of experts, we will be the ones facing the wrath of the law. Is that what you want, for me to get myself locked up?

As Nora watched her husband, she realized how angry he was and felt a sense of shame come over her. She tried to compose herself, taking a peek in the rear view mirror to find that her makeup was in disarray and her hair had gone into tangles after taking a nap in the car while she had waited, in vain, for the authorities to arrive. She dabbed at the lipstick that had stained her cheek. She could hardly recognize herself, this wide-eyed, fearful creature.
