Part 40 (2/2)

”You'll help me plan it, won't you?” Dani asked her in a small voice.

Ca.s.s was hurt and she was mad, but she wasn't insane. ”Of course I will. And I'll make the cake.”

”Well, duh,” Amber said.

Dani beamed at her. ”Thanks, Mom.”

She'd even suck it up and be nice at the wedding. It would be wrong to poison her daughter's big day with petty jealousy.

It's not petty, whispered her evil twin, and Ca.s.s told her to shut up.

”I know it's a busy time of year,” Dani said.

”'Tis the season,” Dot cracked.

The season to be jolly. That was going to be hard with her ex-husband strutting around town, pretending to be the world's best dad. It was going to be hard to greet his bimbo trophy wife with good cheer. And she didn't even want to think about dealing with her former mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If Santa thought this was what Ca.s.s wanted for Christmas he needed to retire.

”This is going to be a pain in the b.u.t.t for you,” Dot said to her later, after the dishes were done and the kids were setting up the Wii game.

Ca.s.s leaned against the kitchen counter and stared into the contents of her coffee mug-black, just like her mood.

”But you'll get through it.”

Of course she would. Exes were a part of life. She'd put on her big-girl panties and deal with this. After all, it was only one day. A woman could survive anything for just a day.

Ca.s.s managed a reluctant smile and raised her mug. ”Well, then, here's to getting through.”

Dot clinked mugs with her. ”Merry Ex-mas, kiddo.”
