My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 88: The Ask
Roman called Dante on a Wednesday afternoon.He had been thinking about it since Monday. Since the two words arrived and he had put the phone in his pocket and gone back to work with the specific quality of someone who had received something that changed the shape of a day without requiring any immediate action. He had thought about it on Tuesday and had not called. He had thought about it again Wednesday morning and had waited until the afternoon, until the desk was clear and the Hartwell meeting was done and he had no practical reason to delay except making sure, one more time, that he was doing this the right way.He picked up the phone and called.Dante answered on the third ring. The neutral professional register he used for calls that had not yet established a category."I want to ask Sera to dinner," Roman said. No preamble. "One dinner. There is no agenda. No pressure. No assumptions about what it means or where it goes."A brief pause."Then ask her," Dante said."I'm asking
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 87: I Know
She had saved his number on a Saturday morning and had not responded for two days.She had put the phone down after saving it and gone back to her coffee and the kitchen window and told herself she was not going to reply from the immediate place, the reactive place, the place where you received something significant and moved toward it before you understood whether you were moving from honesty or from the reflex of having been reached.Sunday passed. She went to the garden, called her father, and sat on the bench. She did not respond.She wrote the first response Sunday evening at the desk in the sitting room with the lamp on. Three sentences. She looked at them and deleted them. They explained too much. He had not asked for an explanation.The second response came Monday morning before leaving for the office. Two sentences. One of them was fully true, and one was not quite true, and she was not going to send something that was only partially honest. She deleted it.The third was a qu
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 86: Unsaved
He sent it on a Saturday morning from his own phone. Not through Garrett. Not through Dante's number, which had become the channel for things that needed a third party between them. His own phone, his own number, which she would not have saved because he had never texted her directly from it. Not during the marriage, when they had lived together and had not needed to. Not after, when there had been nothing to say and then things that had been routed through proper channels that had held both of them at the correct distance. He had stepped outside the proper channels. He had written the message in the study and looked at it for six minutes and then sent it without changing a word. He put the phone on the desk and sat with what he had done. He did not know if she would save his number. He did not know if she would respond, or when, or what the response would be when it came. He had sent it anyway, which was the point, which had always been the point since the letter, since the gate
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 85: What She Orders
The morning had nothing in it until ten.This was not an accident. Sera had started building these two months ago, not every week, but with enough regularity that they had become a real feature of her schedule rather than an oversight. She had not announced it to anyone. She had simply started doing it and found that the mornings she protected this way were different in quality from the ones she did not.She made her own coffee.Rosa was not yet in. The kitchen was quiet and entirely hers, the particular quality of an early morning in a house before anyone else arrived to inhabit it. She measured the coffee, waited while it ran, and poured it into the cup she had been using since she was twenty-two. The one she always reached for without deciding to.She took it to the sitting room.The flowers were on the small table beside the lamp. White ones. She had ordered them herself, from the shop in the city that had been in her notebook for years under the heading of things she meant to do.
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 84: What Dante Sees
Dante had been watching Sera Montague for eleven years. He had watched her take the company from her father's hands without dropping a single thing. He had watched her organize a marriage around a man who was not paying attention and then leave it without making a scene. He had watched her go to Milan and come back with yellow flowers and something restored that had been quietly disappearing for three years. He was good at watching. It was the most useful thing he did. He had been watching Roman Ashford for considerably less time. The past year had provided sufficient material. He had watched Roman come to the estate gate on a Tuesday night in November and sit there for twenty-three minutes without once calling through to be let in. Dante had been at a different window than Sera when the headlights pulled away. He had noted the time. Not one phone call to the intercom. Not one request. Twenty-three minutes and then gone. He had watched Sera stand at her window for four minutes af

Isabella came home at three thirty to find Roman in the sitting room with no lights on, and the notebook closed on the coffee table in front of him.She set her bag down. Looked at him. Looked at the notebook. "What is that?""Sit down," he said.She sat across from him with the careful posture of

Garrett arrived at nine with a folder he had not sent ahead.That was the first thing Roman noticed. Garrett sent documents in advance. Eleven years of working together, and the rule had never changed: a client should never be surprised in a meeting. The fact that he was carrying something Roman ha
