Excerpt:
He was no longer startled by
her resemblance to April. Having a baby and getting sober had added pounds to
her and these days her hair was shorter and curly unlike her sister's long
waves. Strolling in, she took a seat and Smith sighed.
"Hello Amelie. How are
you Amelie? I'll get you a check Amelie."
Since the courts had given
Jamie back to his mom, Smith gave her money to help raise him, normally he
mailed it but had been too busy the past week. She was working for barely above
minimum wage and he loved Jamie as his own. He knew April wouldn't approve but
he had been unable to deny Amelie's request or Jamie’s needs.
"Thank you!" She
said smugly, crossing her legs.
Smith quickly took out his
personal checkbook, writing Amelie a check. He slid it across the table and she
quickly picked it up, placing it in her oversized bag.
"Is that all Amelie and
how is Jamie?"
"He's fine. Are you
going by the daycare to see him?"
"I plan to. But today
I'm going home to my wife." Her brow arched at his words.
"Will she even know
you're there? Last I heard from daddy she was looking zombie-like and
crying."
Rage filled him but he sucked
it down. Amelie might be clean and sober but she was not a good person.
"Anyway, thanks for the
stipend." She muttered.
Standing, she adjusted her
snug dress, staring at her brother in law. He refused to make eye contact with
her. She made her way from the office and he could hear her laughter trail
behind her. Shaking his head, he put away his checkbook and prepared to go home
to his wife.
