such. When she checked the time, she realized it had been a while since dinner, and Ridge hadn’t come in to help her put Alex down. Maybe he figured they wanted alone time, but this was his visit with Alex, and he should be here.
    She leaned over and kissed her baby. “Okay, Mr. Sleepyhead, you’re starting to nod off. Time to hop in the sack.”
    “Aw, Mommie.”
    “Don’t aw Mommie me. Up.” She swatted his butt, and he took a flying leap onto the bed. She shook her head. What was it with boys and having to be daredevils? She tucked him in and prepared to read a story, although she doubted his little eyes would stay open more than a few sentences. She kissed him again. “Hold on, sweet pea. Let me go see if Daddy wants to be here for this, so he learns how it’s done.”
    She winked at him, and he giggled. After setting the book aside, she walked across the room and stepped into the hall. When she started for the stairs, a movement to her left caught her attention. She turned and froze. Ridge’s room lay next to Alex’s, and right then, sneaking out of Ridge’s room dressed in nothing but a sheer mini-robe with hair tussled about her head like she’d just gotten some, was Anne Marie. When she spotted Kiona, she raised her chin as if in defiance.
    Kiona backed away. She stumbled over the first stair, almost toppling down them. If she’d kept her heels on, she would have. Her eyes clouded with tears, and she swung away to run down the steps.
    “Kiona?” Ridge called. He stood at the foot of the steps, but she raced by him, going who knew where. Down the hall, she came to a door and flung it open. The space beyond happened to be the garage, and she ran across it. Ridge caught up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He hauled her backward into his chest, so that her feet dangled above the cold floor.
    “Let me go,” she shouted. “I don’t give a fuck what you do. We’re divorced, and if you want her that bad, you can have her.”
    “What are you talking about?” He forced her around to face him, but she turned her head. He grabbed for her chin, but she managed to bow her head to avoid his touch. “KeyKey, stop. What’s this about?”
    “You know what,” she screamed, figuring half the house heard as well, but she was beyond caring. “I saw that witch sneaking out of your room, naked, and her hair a mess. You didn’t even come to help me with Alex. Just forget it. I don’t care. I don’t care, I tell you!”
    At last, he got hold of her chin and raised it. Ridge’s face blurred because of her tears, and he made a crooning sound. “Then why are you crying?”
    He hauled her so tight in his embrace, she thought he would crack a rib. Kiona sobbed, humiliating herself more and more. Ridge rubbed her back, muttering something she didn’t understand because she couldn’t hear him over her stupid emotions.
    “Did you hear me, baby?” he asked again. When she didn’t answer, he dropped a soft kiss on her lips. For some reason, that quieted her down. “Good. Now, first, I wasn’t in my room. I admit I was on the phone dealing with a business matter that came up. For that I was wrong. I set aside this time for you and Alex. I should have honored that no matter what. If you will think back, you’ll realize you ran past me at the bottom of the steps, honey.”
    Kiona stared at him. She blinked the tears away and thought about it. A shuddering sigh made her press a hand to her mouth. The whole thing seemed so accidental, so real, down to Anne Marie lifting her chin like she wasn’t ashamed of stealing another woman’s man.
    Kiona shivered, and Ridge picked her up to carry her back to the house. He set her on her feet at the bottom of the stairs and kissed the top of her head, much like she’d done to Alex. “Go and pack Alex’s things,” Ridge instructed her.
    Her eyes widened. “Why?”
    “The three of us are leaving right now to go to my house. Get your shoes on.”
    “But it’s
