Sunny said out loud in a rhetorical query, as no one was around to answer. She didn’t even have an answer for it herself. After she had ascertained from Kathy that Scott hadn’t returned home yet, Roger had helped Sunny check the house, just in case Scott really was there. His truck hadn’t been outside, but he could have parked that on any of the lanes into the fields and walked in. She’d called a few of his older buddies, the ones Kathy might not know. By the time the third one had asked why she even cared where her ex-husband was she decided to quit calling and just compile a list. If Scott didn’t go home to his new wife by noon, then Sunny would turn the list over to her. She called Kathy to tell her she hadn’t seen him, hadn’t heard from him, and to find out if he might have showed up. He hadn’t. “He will,” Sunny told her. God, but this was bringing back all sorts of bad feelings of her own. “Give him time, and he will. But don’t give him a break. Don’t let him get away with this type of behavior. I don’t know what you need to do about it, but don’t accept it, Kathy.”
