Chapter 10

• Chapter Ten
• The past week was rather peaceful when Amy disappeared. She told Dave that she was going to see her family, but he knew exactly where she was going. Whenever there was a new toy in her life, she would disappear for a week. Her mood after the trip always told Dave how long that toy was going last in her life. As usual, she would mark her return by driving Dave crazy. She would normally spend thousands of dollars on new clothes and jewellery, if the toy was staying, or she would throw parties at the house, with Elizabeth locked in her room. All Dave could round up was she wanted something, and she was going to use Elizabeth, if she was going to get it without a fight from him.
• His car came to a screeching halt in front of the building—he didn’t even bother to drive it into the parking lot. He grabbed his briefcase and his phone and ran for the elevator. He threw his keys to the receptionist and asked him to park the car. When he got to his floor he rushed for his office, struggling not to draw attention to himself. He stopped when he saw Amy and a moron looking guy, who looked like a sixteen year old GQ model, facing Carol who had pinned herself between them and the door. Dave walked slowly towards them, a smile over his face. He could always depend on Carol to take down Amy.
