"Your mother-in-law was worried about you. Asked me to come keep an eye on you." Kirsten set a bowl of congee in front of her. "So... you and Miles. It's really happening?"
"Yeah."
"Six years of waiting, and this is how it ends?" Kirsten's voice rose with indignation. "If it weren't for you back then, Miles would be dead."
Molly watched her friend work herself up again. "I'm tired. Honestly, seeing how committed he is to Sibyl... I found it kind of moving."
"Moving? What about you? You were so young when you—can you really just walk away?"
Molly's lashes trembled. "The only one I can't walk away from is his mother."
That made Kirsten laugh despite herself. "Maybe the divorce is for the best. Harbor City's full of men better than Miles. Come out with me tonight—I'll find you a few."
"Deal." Molly didn't hesitate. "But they have to be good-looking."
She'd barely finished speaking when her phone rang. Mrs. Vance, asking her to come to the old estate for dinner and discuss how to divide the assets.
Molly picked up some pastries Mrs. Vance liked on the way over.
In the living room, both of Miles's parents were waiting, along with a lawyer.
