My Husband Woke Me at 4:40 A.M. to Serve His Mother. Three Days After I Left, the Police Called About My House.

“I need to speak directly to Gavin about this,” I stated firmly.

Chloe turned to me sharply.

“You are not meeting with him alone, Claire.”

“I know that,” I reassured her.

“I will not be alone.”

Samantha folded her hands neatly on the table.

“Before you schedule a meeting with him, I would like you to give me one more day.”

“Why do we need another day?” I asked.
