Tracy came back from overseas after failing to have the baby, rocking a whole new vibe. She saw the kid as nothing but trouble and got rid of it, and now she and Jared were back to being the perfect pair.

As I stepped out, Tracy smiled at me, looking smug. She said, “So, should I call you Mrs. Holcomb or Ms. Murphy now?”

“Just call me Ms. Murphy,” I said flatly.

Tracy grinned and said, “Looks like Sally was right. You and Jared are really getting a divorce, huh? Or have you already split?”

“Is that why you’re here? I don’t have time for this,” I shot back, my voice icy.

Tracy said, “Let’s grab a coffee at the place across the street. I can still help you get a better divorce settlement, like I said before. Want to hear what I’ve got in mind?”

I happened to need a moment to breathe anyway, and I was curious about what Tracy would say. So I followed her to a Starbucks across the road.

Tracy ordered me a coffee and sat across from me, giving me these little once–overs every so often.

After a moment, she said, “With everything you’ve got going for you, Ms. Murphy, you’ll have no problem finding someone better. Honestly, splitting up with Jared is no loss for you.”

I had to admit, Tracy had both brains and charm, and her way with words was impressive. No wonder Jared had been completely under her spell in the previous life.
