Chapter Nineteen

The next morning, I called Lisa and told her I’d like to rent the house in South Tampa. She was delighted and told me she would call the owner and get the ball rolling. I thanked her, realizing I would have to go shopping for furniture if they accepted. Also, I needed to find an attorney. I knew I wouldn’t find one this weekend, but I could at least start doing some research. I really had no idea where to begin. Daniel would have ties to every attorney in the county because of his job. Who would want to take him on? Well, not everyone liked Daniel. There had to be an attorney out there who would love to take him on. I just had no idea where to find them.

Derrick strolled into the kitchen as I sipped my coffee.

“Hey, Derrick. Any idea where I can find me an attorney who won’t be scared of going up against Daniel?”

“Hmmmm, let me think about that. I’ll ask a few of the guys in my office. A few of them have hired high-powered attorneys for their divorces. Let me see what I can come up with for you. Give me a few hours.”

“Thanks Derrick, and thanks again for letting me crash here. I just can’t go home. I can’t bear to be in the same vicinity as him.”

“You’re welcome as long as you like, Kate. You know that.”

I smiled at him.

“What’s going on in here?” Jen teased as she entered the kitchen.

“Oh, just plotting on how to take Daniel down,” I replied.

“Oh, this is even better than I thought.” She giggled.

“Derrick’s going to put some feelers out for an attorney for me. I’m afraid they may be few and far between when they find out who I’m divorcing.”

“I think you’ll find plenty of attorneys who’d love nothing better than to stick it to Daniel Jones. You may have to take applications, Kate. They’ll be lining up to take him down.”

I hoped she was right. I would need someone who wouldn’t be intimidated by Daniel, someone who would guide me and steer me in the right direction.

“I hope you’re right, Jen.”

“I am. Aren’t I always?” She giggled and gave me a wink.

“I wouldn’t say always, but most of the time.”

“I would say all of the time, but I have to because I’m her husband.”

The three of us laughed out loud. It felt good to laugh. My soul needed it.

“Okay, I’m off. I’m going to look at furniture and hopefully meet with Lisa. If all goes according to plan, I can move in next weekend. Are you guys sure it’s okay for me to stay here until then? I don’t want to impose.”

“Kate, how many times do we have to tell you? The door is always open for you. And besides, we can ignore you when we need to.” Derrick laughed.

“Ha, very funny. But yes, ignore away. Just pretend like I’m not even here.”

I signed the rental agreement and a feeling of relief and excitement rose up within me.
