I shake my head. “No. I’m not going without my wife. She isn’t healthy enough to go, and I will not stress her out by going by myself. But thinking about it now, I think I’ll be stressed out more than Katie will if I go. Why can’t you handle this for me? You said you and mom were planning on attending.”
The muscle along my jaw twitches as I ball my hands into fists.
Everything has been worked out, but now that it is the day of the charity event, things have fallen apart. Why?
My father sighs and sits up straight in the chair, staring across my desk at me. His eyes plea with me to give him a break, but I don’t think I have it in me to do it.
He knows everyone will see me there alone and if Tiffany gets anywhere close to me, the stupid rumors will start again.
Tiffany will seize the opportunity to spin some wild tale that I’m there with her and we are still getting married.
HELL NO!! NOT HAPPENING!!!
