“That’s what I’m doing.”

“Fuck. Okay. Where are you?”

“Like you, I needed a break. I’m spending some time at a wellness retreat in Arizona.”

“And that couldn’t wait until I was home so that one of us was here for Isaac.”

“Your mom was there.”

“He needs a parent.”

“Come on; she’s a better parent than I ever was.”

That’s not a lie but… “She’s nothisparent. She’s mine and no matter what I think about your parenting skills, Isaac doesn’t see it that way. He wantedyou.”

“I’ll be back. Soon. I just need—”

“Don’t.” I cut her off before she hits me with excuses. “I’m sick of the games. If you want out, tell me, and it’ll be easier for us to move forward.”

“Aww, you miss me.”

The fuck?“What the hell did I say to make you come to that conclusion?”

“Easton. I don’t know why you’re so angry. I never wanted this. It was all you. But I’ve tried. I really have.”

My fists tighten on the steering wheel as I suck in a breath, trying hard not to raise my voice. “Do you want to be in Isaac’s life or not?”

“Of course I do. I couldn’t bear the thought of never seeing him again.”

My teeth clench as I groan. “That’s not the same thing, Macy.”

“That’s all I’ve got right now. I’ll call you in a few weeks.”

“A few weeks?”

“Yes, they frown upon using phones here and—”

“We need to talk about the house.”

“Don’t worry. Paul is going to get a great price for it.”

“I don’t want to sell it.”

“What? I didn’t think you’d want to live there after, you know…”

She trails off and my entire body stiffens. “After what?”

“You know?”

“No, I don’t. Enlighten me.” My mind reels with what she’s about to say, and if I’m right in my thinking, I’m going to need to destroy more than a castle.

“I thought you knew.”

Fuck. “You took Zane to my house?”

“Zane? No. That was at the Chambers Hotel.”

I instantly relax and yet… “I don’t need the fucking details. Who else did you cheat on me with.”
