"I feel … numb," Chessy said in a confused voice "Like it really hasn’t sunk in I woke up and thought I was at home and I automatically reached for Tate"

"That’s understandable," Kylie soothed

Kylie set a stea of coffee in front of Chessy but all she did rap her hands around the cup as though trying to infuse some of the warmth into her body

"What time is it anyway?" Chessy asked wearily

"It’s alo call Joss and then we’ll head over to your house so you can get what you need"

Chessy nodded, tears bri to do? I was completely dependent on Tate It hat he wanted He never wanted me to work He insisted that he take care of et me? Now I have no husband, no house, no money" She buried her face in her hands, her shoulders heaving

Kylie sent Jensen an anxious look, unsure of what to do to coer to his lips

Jensen moved in close to Kylie and whispered near to her ear so Chessy didn’t hear

"Just give her ti to be upset for a few days Just be there for her and let her cry on your shoulder Then we’ll figure out what she’s going to do If she and Tate divorce, she gets half of everything so she’ll be financially secure"

Kylie flinched Chessy and Tate divorced? Yes, she’d certainly known that there were probles would go this far That Chessy would be sitting at her kitchen table crying her eyes out because she’d walked out on Tate

"I’o call Joss, hon," Kylie said to Chessy "Why don’t you juhed but nodded and shuffled back toward the guest bathroom Kylie waited until she was certain Chessy was in the shower before dialing Joss’s number

As expected, Joss didn’t take the neell at all Kylie winced at the expletives that filled her ear If Joss earing like a sailor then it really was bad

"I can’t believe he let that happen," Joss raged "Dash will kill him"

"He’ll have to wait in line behind Jensen," Kylie said dryly

"Poor Chessy," Joss said, tears evident in her voice "What are we going to do, Kylie?"

"Well, the first thing is that Jensen and I are going to take her by her house after she gets out of the shower so she can properly pack what she needs After that? She’ll stay here I’ll sit on her if I have to"

"Should I come over too?" Joss asked "I can meet y’all there"
