“Nicole, just stop. I have this all under control.”
I was getting annoyed. Really annoyed. Was he really that much into this case that he was actually going to dismiss this as nothing? “Really Dailan? I just wish that you would get your priorities straight.”
“I’m not going to get into it with you Nicole. You can try and provoke a fight with me all you want, but I’m not biting. I told you that I have everything handled. If that’s not good enough for you then go sulk somewhere else, because I can’t deal with your mood swings today.”
Oh, the things that I wanted to say to him! But I stopped myself just in time, knowing that his mother was right in the next room. “I’m not sulking Dailan. I’m concerned about Ryan. I’m sorry if he doesn’t take priority over your precious case that you’re working on but he and Ella are my first priority!”
He rolled his eyes at me. “You just don’t ever stop, do you? I love Ryan and Ella just as much as you do and I told you I’m taking care of this. What fuckin’ more do you want from me Nicole?”
“I don’t know Dailan. Maybe you could figure that out while you’re spending all that time at work.”
That’s it, I was done. We would just now play the silent game that the two of us had become so accustomed to lately. He got up and walked into the living room. I decided to make up more bottles for Ella and realized that I didn’t have any more formula. She had one bottle left and I knew I had to get to the store to get more or this would give Kitty the perfect excuse to give her milk. I grabbed my purse and keys. When I opened up the front door, I realized that Dailan’s car was behind mine. Shit, now I’m going to have to be the first one to speak!
I poked my head into the living room. “Could you move your car? I need to run to the store to get Ella more formula.”
He took his keys out of his pocket and tossed them to me. “Just take my car,” he said, like it was killing him to even talk to me.
I headed out the door, feeling a little like a prisoner being let out on parole. I was ashamed to admit it but I was actually excited to be going out to buy formula all by myself. Not that my time spent with Kitty was bad today, but I just needed some alone time, even if was only for ten minutes. I got into his car and immediately turned down the blasting radio. I rolled down the windows until the air conditioner kicked in. As I adjusted the seat I took a deep breath, breathing in that scent. The scent that brought back so many horrible memories - Rachel Wiser's favorite perfume.
