Chapter Seven

Travis

In the end, Eddy convinced Travis to put the chaise in the office after all, after a thorough cleaning. It was a gorgeous piece, but as he had suspected it would, it distracted him every time he went to sit on it or hell, even when it glanced at him too long.

It wasn't that they had had good – all right, mind-blowing – sex on it. If that was the only thing, he could have coped just fine. He didn't make a habit out of sex in his office, but it had happened a few times in the last few years. It hadn't been a problem.

Whenever Travis looked at the chaise, however, he didn't think about sex with Eddy. At least, he didn't only think about sex with Eddy. He thought about how long her family had run the Recollection, and how she seemed to be a part of it, ready and willing to take up the banner. He thought of how she had introduced him to the piece as if there was a relationship there, and he thought about how firm she was in her conviction that he needed to be a part of the process.

It was kind of a lot to have on his plate when he was trying to work.

Still he managed, more or less, until around three when his phone rang, and he put aside some paperwork to answer it.

"Eddy, hey, what's up?"

"What's up is that Sofia bit a kid at daycare."

For a moment, the words didn't register in the least. He had been spending the evenings over at Eddy and Sofia's place, getting to know Sofia, and she was a genuinely sweet and calm kid. She could ask the most cutting questions at the most unexpected times, she had green eyes that felt as if they could cut right through him, and always, she was gentle.

"Our Sofia?" he asked in bemusement, and Eddy snorted.

"No, the Sofia that always wants me to buy her Dresden shepherdess collection, yes, our Sofia. The daycare wants to meet with Sofia's parents. I'm heading over there right now. Are you coming?"

Something closed a heavy hand around Travis's heart.

"Do you want me to come?" he asked, and Eddy paused, her silence deep through the phone line.

"I think this is up to you," she said. "This is part of the deal, not just sitting around and playing with ponies, right? It's the middle of your workday and mine. Our kid is in trouble. What are you going to do?"

"Be there, of course," Travis responded, because doing otherwise hadn't occurred to him. "Do I need to call a lawyer?"

"Probably not, but man am I glad that's on the table for you. See you there."

Travis got in the car and managed to meet Eddy in the parking lot at the day care. She was outwardly calm, but there was a halo of tension around her. She was as tense as a piano wire, but she accepted him squeezing her shoulder.

"It'll be fine, okay?" he said quietly, and she gave him a tight smile.
