Sleigh Bells in Valentine Valley (2014)
“Her dad had spent the evening at Carmina’s, so he’d already gone to bed.
“I can’t believe you went to the tavern!” Christina said, shaking her head.
“Well, Emily invited me. She’s very nice.”
“And Tony didn’t mind.”
“If he did, he didn’t show it. He’s still such a nice guy, Mom.” She heaved a sigh.
Christina studied her. “What’s the sigh for? You almost sound like you regret letting him get away.”
“I didn’t say that,” Kate insisted, then turned to stare at the fire, the question surprising her.... Her mom usually avoided discussing Tony, unless it was in relation to Ethan. For a long time after the divorce, her mother would have tears in her eyes if Tony’s name came up. Kate hadn’t taken offense—she’d known her mom had ached for all three of them.
But suddenly she flashed back to what she’d felt earlier in the evening, when she’d seen Tony staring at her butt, as if she’d been teleported back in time to high school. She used to saunter past him in a flouncy skirt, hoping he’d look, wanting to turn him on.MoreLess
