“You have a nice place here.”

“What do you want to talk about?”

“I just wanted to let you know that I’m getting married.”

Savannah dropped her arms in surprise. “And? Why did you feel the need to come all the way here to tell me that? I honestly don’t care.”

“Common courtesy.”

“Okay. You told me. Now you can leave.”

“You don’t even care that I’m getting married.”

“Why would I? You divorced me, remember?”

Kirk stood up and moved toward her, causing her to instinctively step back.

“Vanna…”

“That’s close enough. You said what you came to say, so now you can leave.”

“Vanna, I am so sorry for how I treated you.”

“Okay. Now go.”

“I will always love you, Vanna.” He reached for her hand, but she pulled away. “I know it wasn’t your fault and I’m sorry for blaming you.”

“Fine. Now can you please leave?”

“Look, I had to find you and let you know.”

Savannah shook her head. “I don’t know why you think I’d evenwantto know.”

“I just thought—”

“No! I don’t care what you thought. Please go.”

“Who was that man today?”

“That is none of your business.”

“Is that what you want? Some... cowboy?”

She couldn’t help but smile. “Yes. Yes, I do. And let me tell you, he issomecowboy.”

“You like a man who gets dirty now?”

Savannah burst out laughing. “Depends on what you mean by dirty.”

“I can’t believe you,” Kirk snapped.

“Let me tell you something. That man does more work in the mornings before you get your ass out of bed. Yes, he does get dirty because heworks! He’s not sitting behind a desk in a suit and tie.”

“You used to love me in a suit and tie.”

“Times have changed.”

“I just thought it would be nicer to tell you in person than for you to hear it from someone.”
