All the Pretty Poses
“Claire Norton rails when she flings open the door. I don’t have a lot of patience to deal with her when I’m wide awake, much less first thing in the morning.
“Hello, Claire,” I say, rubbing a hand across my face. “You’re looking well.” And she is. With her rich black hair and equally black eyes, she looks like a million bucks, which is probably what she spent to get that way.
“You need to kick your latest floozy out right this minute. We have to talk,” she fumes.
“Claire,” I begin, my temper sp...iked instantly by her derogatory reference to Kennedy. However, my angry retort is squashed by a small voice.
“Reese, who is this?” Kennedy asks. I turn to find her sitting up in the bed, holding the sheet up to cover her all the way to her chin.
Before I can answer or explain it like it needs to be explained, Claire hisses, “I’m his fiancée, sweetie. Or didn’t he tell you about me?”
Oh shit.
I release a heavy sigh. This is not how I wanted to tell her.
I see the color drain from Kennedy’s face and, with it, any trust I’ve managed to build over the past weeks.MoreLess
