Chapter 19
“Yes, he almost called off the wedding. He was so upset that you couldn’t be best man.”
“But I thought it was Tiffany who was hurt.”
“She was, but not like Tyler. Your not being best man wouldn’t have made her call it off.” Emme Lou laughed, evidently thinking of how ridiculous that would be.
“How do you know all this?”
“Tiffany, of course.” She patted him on the chest. “See, we do have so much to talk about. Promise you’ll call.” This last she said seductively, with a batting of her eyes and a stroke of Ward’s forearm.
“Uh, yeah, sure.”
“Wonderful!” she leaned up and kissed Ward on the cheek.
“Gotta run,” Ward said, wanting to get out of the situation as fast as possible.
“Bye for a while,” Emme Lou said in the same come-hither tone.
Ward headed for the door, trying to keep an even pace and not bolt. Once on the street, however, he picked up speed and jumped into his truck. Shit, he thought as he started the vehicle.
