HARPER
Just as I opened the door, I paused.
I looked back. Dominic was still watching me. And Mila. She stood just behind him, her eyes wide, tears shimmering in them.
My chest clenched.
"Let's meet in court, Dominic Fletcher," I said, before slipping into the car.
I didn't look back again as I pulled out of the driveway.

Panic built with every step I took toward the door.
The children had already run ahead. They were probably inside with Julian by now.
And me? I was stalling.
My mind was a mess, tangled with everything that had happened in the past twenty-four hours.
How the hell was I supposed to explain this?
That I got drunk…And ended up spending the night in my ex-husband's house?
Not just spending the night in his house, I had been in his arms, doing things with him that never should have happened, things I had no excuse for, and the realization hit me hard enough to make my chest constrict painfully.
I had cheated.
