piece. I love you.”
Tyler closed his eyes. He could only imagine how much he’d worried everyone. Guilt was rearing its ugly head. “I’m catching a flight home, and it leaves in a couple of hours. Can you pick me up from Metro? I’ll text you my flight info.”
“Yes, of course.” he quickly replied.
“Renee and Brian…are they okay?” He sat down in a nearby chair and ran his hand through his hair.
“They’re both fine, just worried about you. We’re still waiting on the verdict, so we’ve been sticking close by one another. I highly doubt the jury will reach a decision at this hour.”
“I’ll see you soon, Vin, and thanks for everything. I love you guys, too.”
Tyler sat there for a moment before making his next phone call. He had no idea how Renee was going to respond since he’d taken off without a word to her. He wasn’t proud of himself, that’s for sure, but he couldn’t risk having her try to stop him. Renee would have been successful, and Tyler would have stayed, and then nothing would have gotten resolved.
“Tyler?!” she cried.
“Yes, Baby, it’s me. I’m on my way home. Is everything okay with you, Brian, and the baby?” Tyler prayed they were.
“We’re fine, Sweetheart. We just want you home.” Renee let out a small sob.
“Are you guys angry with me? I don’t blame you if you are.” How could I hurt a woman like this , thought Tyler.
“No one is upset with you. We all love you more than you’ll ever know. Did you find what you were looking for?” She asked, her voice full of compassion.
“Renee, I had to find out some truths, so I could be free to love my family with all of me. My mother and father and their ugly past has weighed so heavily on my shoulders and in my mind. I had to face them both. I’m free, Renee. The truth I found is that neither one of them are who or what I thought they were. Sebastian and Natalie Montclair were two of the most selfish people I know. I never have to be like them.” Tyler breathed a sigh of relief.
“Like I said before, Honey, you’re going to make a wonderful father. Brian’s here and he’d like to speak to you.” He heard her passing him the phone.
“Dad? Are you okay?!”
It was then, that Tyler finally broke down.
Chapter 6
V incent was already awake and getting dressed when the phone rang. He grabbed his cell phone, hoping for the news that a verdict had been reached, so they could all finally move on. He quickly answered it.
“Vincent Montclair.” He was out of breath from racing to the living room.
“Hi, Vincent, this is Carrie Oliver. I was wondering if you wanted to have that coffee date?” she asked with a small laugh.
“Of course I do. Are you still in town?” Vincent hoped she was.
“No, but I reported into work this morning just to be told the department was being cut back. I got laid off.” Carrie’s mood seemed to take a nose dive.
“Oh wow. I’m really sorry to hear that.” This shocked Vincent. He knew firsthand what a good cop she was.
“I called the precinct in Southfield, and they said I could come in for an interview. I’ll be in town tomorrow morning, looking around for a place to stay.” Vincent had plenty of room, but he didn’t want to sound too forward.
“I’d like to help you look at some places, but we’re still waiting on a verdict in the Preston trial. I’m afraid I can’t be too far away from the court house until that comes in. I’m hoping I’ll get a call from the prosecutor soon, so we can put this all behind us.” If not, he’d definitely be calling Furrow.
“Then I’d better not keep you. I’ll talk to you in the morning, Vincent. Thanks so much.”
Carrie quickly hung up the phone, and Vincent found himself wanting to talk to her more. Images of the pretty cop made him smile. With a spring in his step, Vincent walked back to his bedroom to finish getting dressed. Getting to know her better would definitely be fun, but he also knew he made a
