CHAPTER ELEVEN

By Friday afternoon Flint was feeling pretty good about himself. He’d met with Michael Armstrong, an attorney who’d come highly recommended by one of the clients who’d been with him the longest.

They could be as little as a phone call away from having the order dropped. Michael was certain he could negotiate a mutual agreement between him and the Wainwrights that would prevent either party from bad-mouthing the other, and that he could do it without a court order. Flint was willing to sign anything to that effect as long as they dropped the order.

Otherwise he was going to fight it. He had to. For Diamond Rose’s sake. To let it stand unanswered meant it would be put into full effect. It would make him look guilty.

Michael was fairly confident, as was Flint, that the Wainwrights wouldn’t want the matter to go to court.

While Flint was comfortable enough with the situation still open, after talking to Michael he felt one hell of a lot better going into the weekend.

The lasagna was already in the oven and Diamond Rose fed and asleep when Tamara pulled into his drive. He’d offered to send a cab for her. She’d preferred her own transportation.

He was pleased with the fact that she’d agreed to come to his house at all. She knew about his past. And had accepted his invitation anyway.

“Wow, this place is nice,” she said as he opened the front door into a large entryway with a step-down living room to one side and a great room on the other. It had a wall of windows that opened up to a tiled patio and swimming pool beyond. The outdoor lighting was on and showed the pool, with the waterfall, at its best. He couldn’t afford to be right on the ocean, but the pool had been a nice compromise. She turned toward the great room.

“I’ve got someone coming to put a wrought-iron gate around the pool,” he said as he followed her through the room he’d furnished with a complete home theater arrangement, including big leather furniture with charging plug-ins. Stella had thought the room too big for intimate conversation. Too “masculine.”

Diamond Rose, in her Pack ’n Play on the floor in the living room, was out of sight, but her monitor rested securely in the back pocket of his jeans.

He stood back as Tamara moved through an archway into the kitchen, which ran almost half the length of the house. One end held an informal eating area with bay windows and the other housed a more formal dining room set. A set his mother would have loved and had never seen.

He’d purchased the high-top suite for eight soon after meeting Stella.

“Dinner smells wonderful,” she said, stopping to look at the pool out the kitchen window.

He wanted to tell her she looked wonderful. In leggings and a white shirt, gathered at the waist in back, that fell just past the tops of her thighs, with her amber hair loose and falling around her shoulders… He was sure he’d never seen anyone so beautiful.
