Happy Endings (3 page)

After downing his drink Cade said, “I wish
you wouldn’t have told me she was married. I was looking forward to
seeing where this went. My mind has been racing all day thinking
about the possibilities, but I knew it had to be too good to be
true.”

“
So you’re going to call it
off?”

“I don’t see how I have much choice, but I
need some time to figure out how.”

“There’s nothing to figure out. You just call
her up and say you can’t do it anymore.”

“What if she gets mad? What if she threatens
me?”

“Make up a lie. Tell her you’re using your
money to move out of state. Or don’t tell her anything at all. Just
don’t show up to your next appointment and don’t answer her calls.
You should probably throw away your phone and use some of that
money to get a new one.”

“Okay. Okay. I’ll think of something. But my
head is in too weird of a place right now to figure anything out.
I’ll take care of it tomorrow.”

Kevin looked at his watch and grimaced.
“Shit. I’d made plans to visit Mom tonight, and I was supposed to
be there ten minutes ago. I need to get out of here. Hey, why don’t
you come with me. It’s been a while since we’ve all been
together.”

“Oh, no. There’s no way I can look her in the
eye after the day I’ve had. I’m going to stay here for a few more
drinks and try to wrap my head around all of this.”

“Bullshit. There’s no way you’re driving.
Come on. I’ll drop you off at your place on my way. We can pick up
your car tomorrow.”

Cade laughed and said, “My car is at my
house. I’m rich, remember. I took a taxi here. I’m going to have a
few more drinks and then catch another one back.”

With a heavy sigh Kevin said, “Right. Well,
just be smart. I’d stay, but I gotta go. And I’ll see you tomorrow.
I’ll call you.”

The two brothers gave each other a meaningful
nod before Kevin got up and left the bar. Watching the door close
behind Kevin, Cade refilled his glass from the pitcher. He was
about to take his first drink when the phone in his pocket buzzed.
Setting down his glass he pulled the phone out and looked it the
screen. The call was from an unknown number. His thumb hovered over
the “answer” button for a moment before he shoved the ringing phone
back into his pocket. Turning his gaze back to his empty cup Cade
said to himself, “Fuck, what have you gotten yourself into?”
