For Gavin, the money meant nothing. But for Catherine, it was no small sum—and she couldn’t just accept such a big favor from him without a reason.
Catherine turned her attention to Aaron, messaging: Think of a compromise—something that’ll get Amanda banned from the casino for good, but won’t break the bank. Biggest results, minimal cost. Aaron promised he’d wrack his brains for a solution.
But Gavin wasn’t about to drop the issue of repayment. He started peppering her with texts.
[Catherine, you’ve got to be kidding me. You’ll bend over backwards with your ex, Lance, but when it’s me, you have to pay back every last cent?]
[Just admit it. The spark’s long gone!]
Catherine: [There never was a spark.]
Her blunt honesty must have hit a nerve, because Gavin’s response became even more melodramatic.
[How cold-hearted! You have no idea how many sleepless nights I’ve spent carrying the secret that you were pregnant with Lance’s child!]
[If I weren’t so tight-lipped, he’d have found out ages ago!]
[Don’t push me, Catherine. If you keep this up, I just might go tell Lance the truth—that Lanny is his!]
He made a lot of noise, but Catherine knew he’d never really go through with it. Sometimes she wondered if Gavin was immature or just hopelessly dramatic. She paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh.
