“Mom doesn’t need to go on dates,” Gulliver said with a frown.
“Why?” Kaylee asked him bluntly.
“Yeah, Gulliver, why?” January turned her torso to look at him with annoyance. “Why shouldn’t I go on dates? I mean, it’s not like I’m married or anything.”
“We could go on a date,” he waved between them.
“Been there, done that, not really interested in repeating my mistakes.”
“Mistakes?” his eyebrows climbed into his hairline at the
comment.
“Huge error in judgement and trust.” She didn’t look away from his gaze as she made a show wiping her temple to erase his kiss.
He moved his arm back over her shoulder and leaned close to whisper in her ear, “you will shut down this talk of dating other men immediately.”

“Or what?” she laughed in his face.
“I have been playing very nicely. I’ve agreed to all of your demands thus far. I’m not taking your daughter from you. I’m relocating to your town. I’m only asking for alternate weekends. I’m not bringing her and your family back to New York, and let me be clear, that little name you tossed out earlier, vovoi, it’s a very real name. I have an army at my disposal to make it, so you and your family are taken from the little town you like so much.

“No. I would not. I’m simply telling you that if you decide to start dating, I will not sit idly by and introduce new men into my daughter’s world.”
“Fuck you.‘

“Anytime sweetheart,” he held her gaze defiantly.
She pushed her chair back angrily as she contemplated that he was going to move to town and completely usurp her life, “I need a minute.”
“Where are you going Mom?” Kaylee asked loudly.
“I just need a moment, Kaylee.” She waved at her mother who gave her a nod. She didn’t care that she was leaving the safety of the restaurant to go outside. She needed to breathe. His hot words were burrowing through her brain like worms in dirt.
He’d threatened to take her and her family away and not only to New York but to Greece. He was threatening to take her to Greece if she decided to finally move on with her life and date someone else. Why was he being such an asshole? She pushed through the glass doors of the Restaurant, marched down the stairs and rounded the 8:18

This was worse than when she heard him say they weren’t really married.
Threatening to take her entire family out of the country on a whim was making her panic in the worst way. She heard the footsteps coming behind her and she looked up from where she was leaned over, her hands on her knees and glared at the man who approached.

“No. Our daughter is inside thinking she did something wrong because you ran out like a fucking coward.”
“I’m a coward?” she rose up and shoved his chest furiously. “I’m a fucking coward? Let’s talk about who the real coward is, Gulliver.
