I get there, no since buying trouble. He didn’t want me again. Nope, not going there, I have three more words to get through first.”
    Rinsing her hair she began to make progress to number three and the drying issue that was sure to arise. Turning off the shower proved to be a little tricky. Her eyes seemed to have decided to blur up in addition to leak all over the place, but she finally managed to get it off and leaned against the wall to try and get up the energy to move on with her list. There was a big fluffy towel hanging over a warming rack all nice and toasty for her.
    She meticulously dried herself and used another towel to dry her hair. When she decided she’d delayed the process long enough she pulled her clothes to her and sighed. The tears started to fall again.
    She pulled her dress pants on without her panties. She was not putting her dirty under clothes back on and the bra and camisole went next. She was just pulling the comb she’d found in the drawer through her hair when she heard ‘him’ in the other room.
    “He is no longer anyone I’m going to concern myself with. Now,” she said to herself. “In order to finish my list, I just need to open the door and walk out. You can open the door. You do it all the time. Just turn the knob, good girl and push open the wooden thing.” Taking a deep breath she walked thought the door way.

    When she walked past him with her nose in the air, Kyle knew he was in serious trouble.
    Her eyes and nose were red and she wouldn’t look at him. Yeah, he was a dead man, time to grovel, he thought.
    “Madison, I’m so sorr—” She turned suddenly, and advanced on him quickly backing him up against the wall behind him. He could feel the blaze of her anger and his cock hardened with her scent.
    “If you fucking tell me you’re sorry again, I will hurt you.” Her eyes were bright, the blue darkened to almost black.
    They stood staring at each other for several tense filled seconds until she turned her back on him and went to the door. He leaned hard against the wall she had backed him to and closed his eyes. He wasn’t sure what to think, but he knew without a doubt he’d done something to really piss her off. And he couldn’t help but smile.
    Aaron and Sara were sitting on the couch and Bradley and the children were there as well. Kyle took a seat in one of the wingback chairs near the fireplace and sat. He wanted to pace more than anything in the world but as everyone else was sitting he would as well.

    Kyle decided that he really liked this room. It was homey and warm, yet extremely functional. When the furniture was moved out and into storage it was just a long room without any character. But when it was in use as is was now as a simple living room, it was comfy. There were four full sized gray and pink couches that circled around a large fireplace and hearth. The grate that sat in the firebox was as big as a full sized bed and could easily burn a core of wood without any problems. The stone mantle was made up of pink and gray marbled quartz and had a slab of the same material as the base. Along both sides of it were large floor to ceiling windows that looked out over the back of the property that was mostly woods. Sliding doors that lead out onto a covered patio and pool completed the wall. Bookshelves covered the other walls, with chairs scattered about in pairs filling out the rest of the room. Madison was sitting in one of the only chairs in the circle of couches.
    “I’m glad everyone could finally join us.” Aaron looked pointedly at Kyle. He simply shrugged at him. He had more important things to contend with just now than making people wait for him to being a meeting. Aaron continued. “Maddy. I want to first say how sorry I am about this morning. It could have gone much smoother and I’m afraid we may have inadvertently caused you more problems than we meant to. If you don’t mind, we’ll take this up—”
    “I want to leave please. I
