Chapter Seven

It was not okay.

I’d spent the day with various lawyers, managers and public relations specialists. Brigitte had done a number on us, but I had dirt on her that I’d been saving because I had not trusted her. It had all gone too easily, this divorce, and nothing with Brigitte was ever easy. She was the definition of high maintenance. I still hadn’t gotten to the root of where she’d gotten her information, but Bette was in the garden, making her own calls. Neither of us were going to let Brigitte hurt Hannah, and it was clear that’s what her intention was, and through Hannah, get revenge on me and get some good publicity for herself.

Hannah had been nervous after all the drama from the night before, but she had a job to do. I could see her unease, her tension tightening her body. I watched as she tried to hide while standing there in front of me. She dressed in sweats and her dog walking windbreaker, as shapeless as could be. She braided her hair and tucked it into a baseball hat. She was almost unrecognizable from the sexy, sultry girl from the party, all bare skin and curves and glorious hair. I pulled the brim of her hat down lower over her eyes so no one could see the gorgeous green and bent to kiss her full lips. She chewed the corner of her mouth when I was done.

“I’ll be fine,” she said and squared her shoulders, taking the dogs leashes in hand and heading out the door.

Bette and I tried to unravel the mess that was about to come down on us. I didn’t know how long I’d been talking to my lawyer before I noticed all the barking. It was outside, so it might have been going on for a while, but then the door opened and it was inside. Loud and overbearing and scaring me to death.

“I’ve got to go,” I told my lawyer and hung up before he could demand an explanation. I didn’t have one. I stormed down stairs to find Hannah gasping as she slammed the door behind her. She pressed her back up against it, a pack of dogs at her feet, barking and barking and barking.

Her olive face was pale and her pupils were tiny pinpricks in the whites of her eyes. She turned around and locked the door. Locked all the locks. She went through the process again to make sure they were locked.

I waded through the dogs, big and small, to get to her. “Hannah, Hannah, what happened?”

“The dogs didn’t like her,” she said, and blinked up at me.

“What?” The dogs were still barking like mad and I could barely think. “Sit!” I commanded, surprised when the whole pack did just that. Back to Hannah. “The dogs didn’t like who?”

“Brigitte.” Her eyes turned to me but I wasn’t sure if she was really seeing me.

“What did she do?” She had promised to leave us alone, but she’d lied.
