Chapter 20

Landon pulled his rental car into the driveway. Geez, something else on his to do list. Look for a decently priced car to buy. As he went into the house, something smelled amazingly good. He walked toward the kitchen. Karen was stirring something on the stove.

??Whatever it is you??re making, it smells fabulous,?? he said.

??Beef stroganoff. I decided the least I could do was make dinner for you and Trey. There??s bread in the oven.??

??Wow, I??m impressed.?? There was a knock at the front door. ??I??ll get it.?? Landon went back the way he came and opened the door. A stocky man with brown hair, wearing a flannel shirt stood on the front porch.

??Who the fuck are you? Where??s Karen??? the man demanded.

??Why do you want to know??? Landon asked, immediately wary of the stranger.

??Because I??m her husband and she needs to come with me.??

??Ah, you would be the one who beat up a pregnant woman.?? Landon gave the man a truly sarcastic grin.
