Chapter Ten

Jordan had expected questions, disdain, the usual. What she had not been prepared for was Bethany slapping her the moment she walked into the apartment.

“Whoa. What—”

“Where the hell have you been?”

“I told you, I—”

“Liar!” This time, she caught Bethany’s wrist before her palm could connect with Jordan’s cheek once more.

“Stop it. I had some errands to run. That’s what I did. You want to have that talk now? Okay, let’s do it.”

“Why are you doing this to me?” Bethany’s voice sounded slightly slurred, alerting Jordan to the fact that she hadn’t been the only one drinking.

“Beth.”

“No, you’re listening to me for a change! When did I become so unattractive to you that you’re willing to sleep with a man to get away from me?”

“That’s not what happened!” Jordan stopped, unsure how to even start answering those questions, and how Bethany could have come to those conclusions. She was usually spot on, in an almost scary way. She had noticed something about Ellie right away, but maybe that was because Jordan was getting sick and tired of pretending.

However, Bethany had no way of knowing whom she had met tonight, unless she’d hacked into Jordan’s phone. Technically, she could do that, but it was still illegal, and immoral. Not that Jordan had any ground to stand on when it came to morals. “What makes you think I did that?”

“I know,” Bethany said darkly. “How stupid do you think I am?” She pressed a button on the phone, the answering machine. “You could at least tell them not to call here.”

“Hi Jordan,” Darby’s voice sounded from the recording. “I just wanted to let you know I enjoyed our time very much, and I’m looking forward to seeing you again.”

Jordan felt her jaw drop. What the hell was he thinking? Never mind the fact that she had been cheating, and was planning to leave Bethany, for real this time—this was out of line from a man whose only role in her life was to sell her a new home.

“All right, let’s clear up the misunderstandings right now. I never slept with that guy, nor did I ever plan to. I honestly don’t know why he left that message. I am in love with someone else though.”

Bethany looked like she was the one who’d been slapped.

“Frankly, I don’t know what else to tell you. I don’t blame you, at all. In fact, I’m glad to take the blame, but I can’t live like this anymore.”

“What are you saying? You’re taking the coward’s way out after all? You’re not even trying anymore?”

“Bethany, what do you want from me? I told you I’m in love with someone else. I’ll stay with a friend, or go to a hotel, whatever.”

Bethany followed her into the bedroom where Jordan pulled out a suitcase from the back of the closet. If Darby was to be believed, and she trusted him to be better at his job than he was at flirting, she would only have a few days to bridge.

“You are not doing this.
