Chapter Forty-Three The Contract
Tenn
“What are you planning to tell him?” Tenn asked as he stretched and tugged her down into his arms again, making her giggle.
“This is beautifully done,” Quinn murmured, tracing his Dacian Draco tattoo. “Matches the canvas.” Tenn felt his cheeks heat up as he grinned. “Tell who? Rhyme or Quill?
“Focus Flac?r?.” He teased, his hand running up and down her back.
“I'm focused,” Quinn smirked as she reached for her phone. “I can focus on two things. I’ll tell him Joel is out of town, and I need documents he accidentally took to work. Quill will drive us so he can distract Rhyme while I search for it.” She called Quill, explained the situation and asked if he could pick them up at ten if Rhyme agreed to let her in the office, which he agreed to. Then she called Rhyme, apologised for reaching out so early on Sunday morning and gave him the story. To her delight, he agreed to meet them at the dealership at ten-thirty. When she got off the phone, she texted Quill to meet them at her house.
“Why your house?” Tenn asked as he watched her stand up and walk around the bed to his side.
“Because I own a Porsche, and Gordon Rhyme will try to sell you and Quill a car if you tell him you drive anything but one. Arriving at the dealership in one of his cars will hopefully keep him at bay.” She reached out and took his hand. “Come on; we need to get cleaned up and meet my brother.”
After a quick shower together, which was mostly an excuse to spend more time touching each other, Quinn fixed her braid and got dressed in beige khaki capris and a mint green cami top with a ruched bust. Tenn pulled on khaki shorts and a navy cotton linen Henley shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Seeing her looking at him, he glanced down. “What's wrong? Do I look okay?”
“You're really fucking hot.” She shook her head as he laughed and slid his arm around her. “Somehow, you pull off both the nerdy but hot guy and dangerous motorcycle bad boy look simultaneously.”
“Funny, I think the same about you.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “The really fucking hot part. You look like a really artsy pin-up girl.” When they got in his car and were on the road to her house, Tenn remembered she wanted to talk and asked her what she wanted to say.
“We're together, right? Like divorces are happening, and we're together.” She sounded so nervous that Tenn reached for her hand and hastened to reassure her.
“We are together. You are my girlfriend, and I am your boyfriend. Eventually, you will be my fiancée and then my wife.” He grinned at her. “If that's what you want. I'm just letting you know it's what I want.”
“Okay, good. Great.” She sighed in relief, and Tenn watched as the tension drained out of her. “We're on the same page there. When are we going to tell people that?”
“Well, I'm assuming Joel and Viki will leave the party, I figured then. But we can wait a week or so if you want.” Tenn would tell people now if she’d let him, but the truth was he’d already told Del when they discussed the party; Ron was obviously already aware, as was Quill, so there weren't very many other people he wanted to tell.
“I think we'll have to have a mediation meeting with Joel and Viki to see if we can divorce amicably. I want to tell them during it, and then we tell everyone else.”
“I don't have many people to tell besides my family. Most of my university friends are spread around the world, and I only see them if they come home or I'm in their area. The few I have here already know. I'm not a social butterfly.” He admitted. “Part of the reason I stayed with Viki for so long is because I didn't want to date again.”
“Oh.” She paused and looked thoughtful for a moment. “I'm the same way. I have Quill, Rilla, Bishop, and now you. I open my home to the library staff once a month because I enjoy cooking for people. But other than lunch now and then, I don't spend much time with them. That's a simple solution then. What house did Quill show you?”
“The one I will move into permanently is across the street from you. The one I will move into until the thirty days are up is Quill's in-law suite unless Joel decides to vacate the premises early. We felt it was wise not to poke the bear too much.”
“So, I guess that means I'm staying in the guest room.” She teased.
“We all know you’ll spend most of your time with me in the in-law suite.”
----------
When they got to her house, Quill was waiting for them, and they piled into Quinn's Cayenne, where he demanded the whole story. When Tenn filled him in, he smiled broadly, looking absolutely delighted with his brother-in-law's misfortune.
“So, the fucker is cooling his heels in a cell until four o'clock? He hasn't reached out to you at all?”
“Besides the usual good morning, how was your day? Good night texts, nope.” Quinn leaned forward between the seats from her spot in the back.
“You didn't say he was texting you.” Tenn frowned, then mentally shook himself. He needed to calm down his jealousy; it was getting ridiculous. They were divorcing their spouses, and she was with him.
“I'm pretty sure they're scheduled texts or an AI chatbot or something. He doesn't even look at or respond to my answers.” She pulled out her phone and opened it. “Here’s my favourite from the New York conference trip. I was trying to see if he was paying attention. “Good morning; I hope you have a fantastic day, Babe.” My response was: Good morning! I hope you get lost and are taken in by the lizard people who live in the abandoned subway tunnels. He responded with: Sounds like fun. Love you, TTYL!”
Tenn looked around, furrowing his brow. “Seriously?”
“Oh, it gets better.” Quinn chuckled. “Around four, because that was when they were supposed to be done for the day, I got: “How was your day? Mine was long and boring.” I responded: I went to Salem and joined a witch coven, then I sacrificed a goat and pledged my heart and soul to Satan, rode him like a horse, and now I'm pregnant with the antichrist.” Tenn and Quill both snorted with laughter. “His response? “Sounds like it was an exciting day for you. Congratulations!” That night I got: “Sorry I couldn't talk earlier. I went to dinner with the group. I'm heading to bed, but I want you to know I love and miss you. Night!” I answered: I gave birth to a horned child with goat's legs. I've named him Bucky. Night.”
“The best part about all of it was he couldn't confront me about it because he would have to admit he wasn't actually texting me, and I never brought it up. I know he read them because he was super-loving that week. He took me out to dinner and a walk on the harbour, so he knew I knew but couldn't say anything.”
Tenn looked at Quill. They were both in tears, laughing. “Your sister is incredible.”
Quinn
When they got to the dealership, Rhyme was waiting for them in his car. They said hello and introduced Tenn as a friend of Quill's, who was helping him with renovations. “Thank you so much for allowing me to look for it. I didn't realize they were missing until I started looking for them this morning, but it's a contract I signed to have Quill do some work on my house,” Quinn explained as Rhyme led her to Joel's office.
“No problem, M'dear. No problem at all. How did he end up bringing to work?”
“He looked it over before leaving and accidentally put it in his briefcase. He thinks it got mixed up with his files. I would have waited, but he won't be home until late tonight.”
“And I need to file for the permits first thing in the morning.” Quill supplied. Rhyme unlocked the door and let her in. “How are things at the house? I was telling Tenn about it on the way over.” Rhyme immediately stopped watching Quinn and launched into a monologue about the house Quill remodelled for him and how incredible it was.
While her brother and Tenn distracted Rhyme, Quinn looked around her husband's office. There were piles of paperwork everywhere, and she didn't want to dig through the mess or potentially poke through people's private information. She tried to think about where he would put it, sitting at his desk and looking around. There was a filing drawer on the desk, and she pulled it open. At the very back was an unmarked hanging folder. She pulled it out, and there it was, along with a few others with names but no signatures. She glanced up to check Rhyme wasn't looking, snapped a few photos of the contract with Viki and a few of the other ones, then grabbed one of the unsigned ones.
“Got it!” She came out smiling, interrupting Rhyme, who turned and smiled at her.
“Oh, good. Those permits can be such a hassle.”
Quinn nodded. “Yes, they absolutely can be.” She passed it on to Quill. “I'm so sorry we interrupted your Sunday morning.
“Not to worry, I have a tee time at eleven at the golf course nearby, so I just left the house a little early.” He walked them out, reset the alarm code and said his goodbyes. In the car, she explained what she had done.
“Do you want to hear what she agreed to?”
“Yes!” They both nodded eagerly. Quinn pulled up the pictures on her phone and began to read.
