“What?”
“You’re not seriously going after her.”
“Those babies…”
She squeezed my sleeve.
“Could belong to anyone.”
I looked through the rearview mirror.
Laura was getting smaller in the distance.
One tiny head rested against her chest.
And suddenly a thought entered my mind that I had spent eleven months making sure I never had to consider.
What if I had been wrong?
A year earlier, I had believed Laura was destroying our marriage.
The evidence had seemed overwhelming.
It began with money.
I owned Whitmore Development, a commercial real estate company my father had founded twenty-seven years earlier.
Laura had access to several household accounts and one investment reserve we occasionally used for charitable projects.
One morning, my accountant called.
Six transfers had been made over three months.
$18,000.
$22,000.
$31,000.
$14,500.
Then two larger withdrawals.
