I buzz Lance up to the penthouse. The kids are asleep and It's Monday night. Today I've worked on all the last-minute wedding plans. It's all ready to go on Sunday. "Hey. Any beers?" Lance asks.

"Yeah, you know where the fridge is." I follow him out to the kitchen.

"So," Lance's voice cuts through my thoughts as he emerges from the fridge with two beers and throws me one. "What the actual hell is going on with you and Winona?" I shrug as I sit at one side of the island counter. "Nothing, why?"

"Nothing? Well then, where is she? She's clearly not here." Lance asks with a pointed stare.

"She's busy tonight."

"Oh...busy? Yeah, sounded like she was very busy last night."

My curiosity peaks. "Why?"

"Phillip said she was out having a hell of a time." He twists the beer cap off with his teeth, his eyes flicking over to me. "You guys break up or something?"

I feel a knot tighten in my gut. Phillip. "No, we didn't break up.

Lance's brow furrows. "Okay, then why's she out in the club like she's single, man?"

"What did Phillip say? Did they...?" I can't say the words, hell I can barely think them. Jealousy surges up inside me. "Fuck, was he drinking alcohol?"

I'm remembering what he almost did to Winona that night he was drunk. I'll kill him if he tries that again.

Lance shakes his head. "No alcohol. He just said he saw her dancing with half the jocks in the club and he

left."

""Was Lisa there?"

"Not that he mentioned. What the frick is going on?"

I grit my teeth, trying to keep my cool. "Winona asked for a hall pass."
