“Is there something you’re trying to get at, Ms. Wilder?” I changed the subject; I hated it when people tried to talk

about me and Jared.

Amy’s eyes twinkled as she poured me half a cup of coffee. She smiled and said, “You’re Mr. Holcomb’s ex–wife, so you must know what he likes, right?”

My face went a little stiff. “So, you want me to spill what he likes?”

“Ms. Murphy, if I end up with Mr. Holcomb, things will be a lot better for you. But if Tracy marries him, you, as his ex–wife, are in for a rough time.” Amy didn’t beat around the bush as she laid it all out.
