CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Carly didn’t realize Trevor had entered the big home at all as she stood in the middle of the massive room. She was too busy listening to the ladies go on and on about their tennis game and which one of them had the best stroke. Carly used to play tennis sparingly when she was a student at Harvard, but hadn’t touched the racket in years. She could offer little advice. But she listened attentively because that was what a good honoree was supposed to do. These people went out of their way to come to a dinner in her and Trevor’s honor. She was not dismissing any one of them the way Amari so easily could. They would forgive Amari anything. He knew how to work a room. It had been Carly’s experience in life that nobody ever allowed her to get away with anything. Except her parents. And Trevor.

That was why, when she heard somebody say his name as they were greeting him, she turned quickly. Her heart soared when she saw him and she couldn’t help it. She broke away from those ladies and hurried to him. If she had been outside, she would have ran to him.

Trevor saw her coming and smiled, which wasn’t easy for a stern man like him. But Carly put a smile on his face. And he gladly swept her up and into his arms.

“My baby,” he said into her ear as he held her.

Amari saw their embrace from across the room, as he and Karen were making a quiet getaway by exiting through the patio doors, and his heart was glad for them. There was nothing like love, he knew, although he’d never really experienced it. But his father and Carly were obviously in love.

He was about to experience love himself. He was about to make love to the woman beside him. He’d heed his father’s advice tomorrow. Because tonight, he was about to get it on. He and Karen took off through the sliding glass doors like two teenagers in heat.

Trevor hadn’t noticed his son’s departure. He was too busy holding onto Carly. And as he held that familiar body against his, and began getting hard even in that crowded room, he looked over Carly’s small shoulder and saw Margo Robinet. Margo saw him, too, and began heading his way.

He whispered in Carly’s ear. “My ex is here,” he said to her.

Carly was surprised to hear him say that. “What ex would come to a dinner honoring their former lover and his new wife? Who does that,” she asked him.

“She does,” he said. “And she’s heading this way,” he added, and they slowly stopped embracing.

Carly, anxious to see just who this ex might be, and if she had already held a conversation with her, turned in the direction in which Trevor was looking. And she realized at once she had not held a conversation with his ex. She realized at once that his ex was Margo Robinet, one of her favorite actresses.
