Later after Kyle left his parents, he settled down in home office to make travel arrangements to pick up the horses. Once that was settled, he moved on to his book. He hadn’t touched it in days, and now as he looked at the notes he’d made so far on Kassie, his mind wasn’t cooperating.

His cell phone buzzed. He knew it wasn’t Jemma, it was Kassie’s bedtime. He glanced down at the number, recognizing the Austin area code, it was Ava.

“You’re a hard man to keep up with,” Ava cooed into the phone. “Have you signed my paper yet?”

“No, I haven’t had a chance to look at it,” he said. “As I told you last night, I will express mail it to you in Houston. I’m sure there’s an address on there somewhere.”

“Actually, no it’s not. It has my Austin address. Since your mother was so kind to have me forced off the property this morning; why don’t we meet somewhere and you can give me the paper.”

He glanced at the clock, not wanting to talk to this woman any more than necessary. “You know, that’s not a bad idea.”

“Great. Where do you want to meet? I’m at a hotel close to Mansfield. There’s a coffee shop right across the street and….”

“Whoa! Ava, I didn’t say anything about tonight. When I read the paper I and have my attorney look at it, I’ll get back to you.”

“Why does this have to be a family affair? It’s just an amendment to the divorce decree,” she said.

“Then you won’t mind my attorney looking at it.” What could this woman want? She’d committed adultery, so she didn’t have a leg to stand on. And he certainly wasn’t giving her one thin dime.

“There’s a time constraint,” she said. “I really need this taking care of as soon as possible.”

“What could you possibly want now?”

“Your retirement fund. I have come to understand that your stock portfolio you had during the course of our marriage, has tripled in value.”

“So.”

“Half of that million dollars should be mine. You created that fund while we were married. You filed for the divorce.”

“Because you admitted to being pregnant by another man. Oh, you kept trying to make me think it was mine, but as I’m a stickler about dates. I hadn’t touched you in months.” Years, actually, he thought.

“Oh, you know I would never betray you. It was only one time. Can we just forgive and forget?”

He laughed. “No.” He ended the call. Ava. One mistake and he’d paid for it for ten years. Never again.
