Kou need to leave.”

Lucas straightened. “Excuse me?”

“We’re not family anymore and I’m still in recovery. I don’t want you here,” she said, then held up her hand before he could say anything else. “I don’t care what you think of me. I don’t care if you don’t believe me. If you want to avoid a scandal, starting a fight in a hospital, terrorizing an injured woman in her bed, then go.

“Now.”

Lucas stood stunned. All he could do was stare at her. Kyle was the first to move, taking a step back and turning to the door. Then opened it.

Lucas only lingered a half second longer before turning. “Come on, Ayla.”

Ayla lit up and followed him out.

Once the door was closed again, it was only Elaine and Lucas. And she smiled.

“It’s finally over.”

Two days later, Elaine was discharged from the hospital. Dr. Howard still wasn’t sure what had happened with her records, but Elaine already knew that she hadn’t been magically cured just because of some mishap.

Liam had been hopeful, if only for a little, that she hadn’t actually been sick.

But that’s not why Harriet came by to pick them up and take them out to dinner. They weren’t celebrating that tonight. They were celebrating the divorce.

Harriet drove the two to a restaurant downtown with balcony seating. It was only the three of them. Elaine and Liam sat across from each other. Harriet took the head of the table.

“I can’t believe it!” she said for the tenth time since picking them up. “Two months of this nonsense. It really should have gone by so much smoother.”

“I’m surprised it only took that,” Liam said, picking up the menu and scanning through it. “You do fast paperwork.”

“Anything for Elaine,” Harriet replied, looking over at her friend. “So. Newly single. Any fun plans?”

Elaine laughed. “Just focusing on the foundation. All we have to do now is file with the pack’s Administrative Office then we can finally get this thing started.”

“Pf-ft, enough work talk for one night.” Harriet waved a dismissive hand. “There’s time enough for that tomorrow. Tonight you need to enjoy yourself a little.”

“Steak it is then,” Liam announced, setting his menu right back down.

“I was thinking more like champagne!” Harriet said.

Elaine smiled, raising her brow. “That special an occasion, huh?”
