“Is my baby going to jail?”
“I’m not the D.A., Mr. Kent, but I doubt it. I think she needs help more than punishment.”
“Don’t we all,” Kent said, and then shuffled away.
T
hat night, Parker answered his front door and found Rachel standing there, and she was looking as desirable as ever.
“Hi Rick,”
“What are you doing here?”
“I was actually here last night, but you weren’t home, I thought maybe you were with that new partner of yours.”
“It’s not like that; she’s my partner, period.”
Rachel smiled.
“Good, may I come in?”
Parker let her into the entryway and shut the door.
Rachel was on him in an instant as she pressed herself against him and kissed his lips.
“My lawyer says that you never signed the divorce papers. I know what that means, it means you want me back, it means you’ll take me back and everything will be just like it was.”
Parker felt the anger rising. Did she really think he was fool enough to take her back again?
“We’re over, Rachel, over!”
She kissed him once more and he felt a thaw beginning, a thaw that would culminate in a white heat of passion if he didn’t break their embrace, and she felt so good back in his arms, so damn good.
He reached back to grab something from the table by the door and his fingers touched a letter opener much like the one that had slain Tiffany Grace. He shoved Rachel away with one hand, even as he thrust out at her with the other, his actions fueled by rage.
Rachel’s eyes widened in shock, and pain spread across her face.
“It’s signed?” She whispered.
Parker thrust the paper at her again; it was their divorce decree. He had signed it the night before, upon returning home from his tryst with the passionate Cindy.
“Take it! We’re over, Rachel! Finished! I hope you have a very good life but I can’t be a part of it, not ever again.”
Rachel wiped at tears.
“I understand, and... I really do love you, you know?”
“Goodbye Rachel,”
She walked out, and he watched her drive away until he could no longer see her car, then, he went inside, leaned back against the door, and cried.
