a flicker of amusement cross her face.
                  "No Ty, I need to be at our condo.  Ian might change the locks and then I will be shit out of luck."
                  I knew that Ian would never do that.  So did Gina. Deep down inside Gina wanted some type of explanation from Ian - something to assure her that his infidelity was not about her sexual prowess or attractiveness.  No woman ever wanted to believe they could be replaced in bed though I wasn't sure how I knew that.
                  "Do you want to stay and have dinner with us?  I mean Trey doesn't practice family law but I'm sure he can recommend an attorney at his firm if that is the path you really want to take."
                  "Thanks Ty - but I don't think that I could handle having the Hot Nazi feeling sorry for me.  He might actually be pleasant to me and I know that would piss me off.  My emotions are just too raw right now.  I would appreciate you speaking to him and getting a referral for me."
                  "Of course I will Gina.  I will be here for you just as you have always been there for me.  Have you talked to your mom about this?'
                  "No way.  I asked Aunt Becky to do it.  If you thought I had an east coast temper - you should see my mom's!  It's better if she hears the news from Aunt Becky."              Gina and I finally had lunch though she didn't eat much.  She was totally destroyed by this and I would have been the same way had it been me.  She played a little bit with Preston which seemed to help her disposition.
                  Trey was home promptly at 6:00.  I had just started dinner.  He found me in the kitchen and pulled me into his strong arms, holding me tightly.
                  I was totally out of sorts with the day that I had.
                  "How are you baby?" he asked.
                  "Bad day all around," I said.  "Were you able to find out anything more about Jean?"
                  "Not really," he replied, "One witness said it was a late model SUV and appeared to have out-of-state license plates.  He said it was if the driver swerved to make sure that he hit Jean.  It makes no sense."
                  "I'm still in shock," I said.  "What if she doesn't pull through Trey?"
                  "Hey don't think like that, Tylar.  Jean is a strong woman.  I called her daughter Cathy this afternoon and the doctors are very optimistic that she will recover."
                  "I hope so.  I feel so guilty.  I'm not sure why."
                  Trey pulled back from me, tilting my chin upward to kiss me softly on the lips.
                  "Sweetie, you have no reason to feel guilty about anything.  It was a random act of some sort.  It has nothing to do with you or me, okay?"
                  I nodded but I was not convinced that he was right.  Something about this had my stomach tied in knots of fear.  There was something personal about it though I wasn't sure how it could possibly be linked to Trey or to me.
                  "I have more bad news I'm afraid."
                  Trey looked over at me, taking a peeled carrot from the cutting board to snack on as he waited for the news.              "When Gina came for lunch today she was devastated Trey.  She caught Ian in the act of cheating with one of his young female employees.  She is beside herself.  She asked if you would represent her in divorce proceedings."
                  "Hmmph,"he grunted, "I would be more inclined to represent Ian - pro bono."
                  "What?" I snapped.  "This isn't a joke Trey.  He has freaking destroyed her."
                  "Oh come on Tylar.  You don't think in Gina's own way she has somehow emasculated him over
