A Hint of Scandal
“The neighborhood had started giving into grunge a few blocks back. A slow burn of anger rose through him with each graffitied house and run-down apartment complex he passed.
He’d known Olivia was broke, he’d read Carlos’s report that she lived in a run-down neighborhood along the outer fringes of Manhattan. But it hadn’t prepared him for the sight of it. Her little studio was on the fourth floor of an apartment building whose best feature was that it looked clean.
It felt as if a hammer... was pounding incessantly behind his eyes. He had just flown back from Abu Dhabi after a week of nonstop meetings.
His eyes felt like sand was coated into them, he hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep in he didn’t know how long. If he thought about this using his head, as he was known to do, he shouldn’t be here. The increased frequency of Isabella’s phone calls, Emily’s incessant questions and his decision to get Emily’s custody sorted soon rather than later—his personal life was in the worst shape for the first time in twelve years.MoreLess
