Chapter 44: LYON

I watched the two of them leave and sighed long and hard before taking my seat again. My wife came waltzing in seconds later. I was about to send her ass packing because I needed a break but the look on her face had me jumping out of my chair. "Kat what the fuck? Who fucked with you?" I knew it couldn't be one of our kids because they know better.

She shook her head and walked into my arms, putting arms around me. Now my wife has a lot of moods, she can be a pain in the ass, which is my mood of choice. If she's griping at me about some shit then I know she's okay. When the kids piss her off she goes into a cleaning frenzy.

But this, this one I've never seen. "Kat?" I caressed her hair and hugged her closer with the other arm. "Baby, what happened?"

"I just got off the phone with Mrs. Henderson."

"Who?"

"Todd's mother."

"Yeah?"
