“What’s he doing?” she asked Brina. “And you can do all of that?”
“Yes. He’s trying to pull one over on you.”
She should have figured. She wouldn’t put anything past him now.
Tanner returned. “Here’s the title. Just sign it.”
Brina took it and looked it over, then handed it to her. “Go ahead.”
She shook her head. That should have been with the other papers. She signed the title and then left the hotel with Christian. “Thank you for that,” she said to Brina. “Can you just send a bill to my house?”
“Don’t worry about it,” Brina said.
“I know you need to bill me to make it all legal,” she said.
Brina grinned and winked at her. “I’ll take care of it. Let me know if you have any other issues. Don’t be afraid to reach out to us.”
“I won’t,” she said. “Thank you too, Dylan.”
“No problem,” Dylan said.
They all left and she went with Christian to his house. She was still skittish about going home and was going to have to figure that out, but for now, she just needed some sleep.

Proud Of Her
“How is Liz doing?” Zoe asked him the next morning when he got to work. Christian should have figured that she’d know what her husband had to do yesterday morning, but he didn’t think Dylan would say much more than where he was or for who.
“Not bad,” he said. “I’ll feel better when I get confirmation he’s gone.”
Everything had been signed and completed yesterday. Brina had gotten in touch with the bank on Liz’s behalf and sent over copies of the divorce papers. At this point Liz was officially free of her ex-husband. Now Tanner just needed to get his ass on the plane today and not come back.
“Just so you know,” Zoe said. “Dylan didn’t tell me anything. He’d only texted to say he’d be late. Normally he lets me know if he’s on time or not daily so I don’t worry before I leave for work. He’d already texted he’d be on time and then that something came up after.”
“It’s fine,” he said.
“I understand,” Zoe said. “But just letting you know. He’d only said he was there for you and Liz and something about her ex causing problems. He said that because I was kind of nagging him. I do that at times. I get worried about him in his job.”
Dylan had gotten shot on duty early into Zoe’s and his relationship. Christian couldn’t imagine living with that fear daily when he had enough of it yesterday to last him a lifetime.
“I don’t think I could handle that,” he said. “Yesterday was bad enough.”
“What was bad?” Evan asked him. He turned and saw his father next to Evan. He’d walked into work and was going past Zoe’s office when she called out to him. He should have been more aware, but his father and brother weren’t normally in the office this early.
He figured he better fill them in on what was going on. He trusted them and could say things without going into great detail.
“Come to my office,” he said.
His father and Evan came in and shut the door behind him. “Is everything okay?” his father asked.
“Yes,” he said. “Or it should be. We had some problems with Liz’s ex yesterday.”
“Her ex?” Evan asked. “Doesn’t he live in Georgia?”
His family was aware of the basic information and he’d tell them some more but not go overboard. Then he’d tell Liz that his family knew. He wouldn’t keep that from her.
“He does,” Christian said. “But he showed up at her job two nights ago.”
