Chapter 64

She hadn’t left the office until just after 2:30, and traffic on the I-4 was already heavy. “Great. I’m going to be late. Fan-fucking-tastic,” she muttered, putting her car in gear again.

In her defense, work had been hectic that morning. The Reach Out Organization accepted walk-in appointments from eight until ten every morning, and since Carol started working there, she averaged three or four clients a day. Some of them needed help with evictions, but most of the cases involved divorce and child custody. The custody cases were the most difficult. That morning, she’d had eight people waiting to see her.

Things did not get better after that.

A part of her resented Daniel for not only pulling her away from the office, but adding to the pressure by insisting she find a new address in a strange neighborhood by a certain time. Couldn’t this wait until the weekend? Or until after six? He wouldn’t even tell her what he wanted from her.
