Chapter 37

• COUGAR DENIED
• “I KNOW, BABY. I know,” I say, opening the door to my brother’s condo.
• This is what I get for being selfish with Mateo. The sex gods—and perhaps the real God, too—have punished me by grounding all flights out of Atlanta due to a horrible thunderstorm. I can’t get home. I had to call my mom to pick the kids up from school, completely lying to her about why I was out of town at the office. My mom will keep the kids overnight. I wasn’t about to call Ryan to help. It’s not his week, and he asked for distance.
