Rebecca glared at Alistair's name on her phone screen, her irritation bubbling
over.
Is Anne right? Is Alistair really trying to play the pity card to worm his way back into my life?
She let out a cold, mocking laugh.
Alistair, don't make me lose what little respect I have left for
you.

You walked away from the courthouse acting all cool and detached. What's with this pathetic act now?
The memory of his fleeting, infuriatingly attractive smile as he left sparked a fresh wave of annoyance.
Spurred by Anne's prodding, Rebecca dialed his number with deliberate nonchalance.
The call connected almost instantly.
Before he could get a word in, Rebecca pounced. "Alistair, what's wrong with you? Who gave you permission to call me?"
A brief silence followed, and then Alistair's voice came through, calm and steady. Chapter 7 Living the Easy Life

His voice had a unique quality. It was low, clear, almost magnetic. Someone once joked that Alistair could charm anyone with his voice alone. Unfortunately, he rarely spoke.

Anne, eavesdropping, chimed in with a snide tone, "Oh, Alistair, that's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. You're not even good at lying! Don't you know? Danny's real dad picked him up today. There's no way Rick would leave his own son stranded at kindergarten. What kind of father would let his kid go through that?”

Rebecca's brows knitted together, her voice sharp with "Didn't I tell you yesterday to stop dragging Danny into your games? Don't overestimate your importance, Alistair. Pull this again, and you'll regret it."
With that, she slammed the call to an end.
Oddly, while Rebecca seemed furious at Alistair's supposed scheming, a strange satisfaction coursed through her.
The pent-up frustration she'd been carrying found an outlet, leaving her feeling lighter, almost giddy.
