WHEN SHE PULLED THE LETTER FROM HER MAILBOX,
KELSEY HAD NO warning it was from a dead woman. The creamy
stationery, the neatly handwritten name and address, and the Virginia
postmark seemed ordinary enough. So ordinary she had simply stacked it
with her other mail on the old Belker table under her living-room window
while she slipped out of her shoes.
She went into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine. She
would sip it slowly, she told herself, before she opened her mail. She didn’t
need the drink to face the slim letter, or the junk mail, the bills, the cheery
postcard from a friend enjoying a quick trip to the Caribbean.
It was the packet from her attorney that had shaken her. The packet she
knew contained her divorce decree. The legal paper that would change her
from Kelsey Monroe back to Kelsey Byden, from married woman to single,
from half of a couple to a divorcée.
It was foolish to think that way, and she knew it. She hadn’t been
married to Wade in anything but the most technical, legal sense for two
years, almost as long as they’d been husband and wife.
But the paper made it all so final, so much more so than the arguments
and tears, the separation, the lawyers’ fees and legal maneuvers.
Till death do us part, she thought grimly, and sipped some wine. What
a crock. If that were true she’d be dead at twenty-six. And she was alive—
alive and well and back in the murky dating pool of singles.
She shuddered at the thought.
She supposed Wade would be out celebrating with his bright and
spiffy-looking associate in the advertising agency. The associate he had had
an affair with, the liaison that he told his stunned and furious wife had
nothing to do with her or with their marriage.
Funny, Kelsey hadn’t thought of it that way. Maybe she didn’t feel
she’d had to die, or kill Wade, in order to part, but she’d taken the rest of
her marriage vows seriously. And forsaking all others had been at the top of
the list.
No, she felt the perky and petite Lari with the aerobically sculpted
body and cheerleader smile had had everything to do with her.
No second chances had been given. His slip, as Wade had termed it,
was never to be repeated. She had moved out of their lovely town house in
Georgetown on the spot, leaving behind everything they had accumulated
during the marriage.
It had been humiliating to run home to her father and stepmother, but
there were degrees of pride. Just as there were degrees of love. And her
love had snapped off like a light the instant she’d found Wade cozied up in
the Atlanta hotel suite with Lari.
Surprise, she thought with a sneer. Well, there’d been three very
surprised people when she’d walked into that suite with a garment bag and
the foolishly romantic intention of spending the weekend leg of Wade’s
business trip with him.
