Confessions of an Heiress

Chapter 21 - Drowning in Bathtubs (part 2)

So now do you understand why I'm hiding in my bathtub? The last few years, all I've done to make things right, to make my marriage work and help my family survive? And then some brassy wench shows up at my house and makes a joke of a mistake I made? A mistake I never wanted anyone to hear about. Robi thinks I came home crying because his father died.... I never want him to think any different. But this. This could change everything. This could be my day to lose it all. I told you hiring McCarthy McCatering was a really bad idea.

Uh oh. Someone's coming. There are 8 bathrooms in this house. Why do they need to use this one? Ok. Think invisible thoughts...

Hey Cal. I didn't know you were in here.

Oh.

I wish a satellite would fall on me right now.

Is this what professional party guests do? Invite a bunch of people to their house and then sit in the bathtub?

I just needed a minute to myself George. Now, if you'll excuse me.....

I tried to leave. I was going to leave. I was leaving.

Cal.

And then he caught me with his eyes.

And then he was gone. It never happened. He was just George, and he was gone. It never happened.

This day was only getting worse.
