I stood up and slapped Blair hard across the face. A second later, another slap landed on me-
Lila’s eyes welled with tears the moment she saw Travis appear. “Travis! She hit my sister!”
He stared at the palm of his own hand in a daze, then looked at me, guilt flashing across his expression. “Elise, I… I didn’t mean to…
})
Blair gave a cold, amused laugh. “This is how the great Mr. Langley shows his sincerity? Still can’t let go of his ex-wife after the divorce?”
“Well, Lila and I can’t be with a man who’s tangled up with someone else.”
“We’re respectable women. We don’t ‘do’ mistress.”
Then she glanced sideways at me, a cutting smile curling on her lips. “Unlike some people… Can’t take a hint after the divorce. Is this what they call ‘classy’ in high society?”
Travis’s face froze. “Elise, apologize to Blair and Lila.”
Snow began to fall. I knelt down and cradled Daisy’s small, trembling body. She was already stiffening in the cold.
My eyes turned red, and I met his gaze, voice low and unshakable. “They killed my rabbit.”
They killed the rabbit who’d been with me for ten years. The last thing my mother had left me in
this world.
Travis’s eyes flickered with concern, but Lila suddenly grabbed Blair’s arm. “Travis, it was that
damn mutt! It attacked her first!”
I felt rage boil in my chest. Daisy was gentle-she would never attack without reason.
Travis knelt beside Blair and took her hand gently. Does it hurt?”
Blair turned her face away. “What does it matter if it hurts? The one responsible won’t suffer
anyway.”
Travis’s voice was full of indulgence. “My sweet little angel… What do you want me to do?”
Blair cast a wicked look at me. “Since your ex-wife feels so connected to that animal… why not let her spend a night in the cage too?”
