“Belinda, I got the message. Your ex-husband? Is he giving you trouble? Do you need my help?”

Belinda hesitated for a second, about to type a reply, when Kristopher, seated across from her, sneered. “Let him come over.”

As she regained her composure and reached to disconnect the call, a strong, defined hand swiftly snatched the phone away from her. The small table in the breakfast diner made it easy for Kristopher, with his long limbs, to reach across and take her phone.
