Chapter 213

On the other end of the line, Carter’s voice came through, tinged with weariness. “You’ve called me so many times. Is it something urgent?”

Sharon’s voice was cool and flat. “Carter, did you forget we’re supposed to get divorced today?”

“I didn’t forget,” he said at last. “I told you just now. Something urgent came up. I couldn’t get away.”

The words hit Carter differently. They carried a tone-faint, maybe imagined-something like jealousy.

He asked suddenly, “You want me to come that badly?”
