Tracy cback from overseas after failing to have the baby, rocking a whole new vibe. She saw the kid as
nothing but trouble and got rid of it, and now she and Jared were back to being the perfect pair.
As | stepped out, Tracy smiled at me, looking smug. She said, “So, should | call you Mrs. Holcomb or Ms. Murphy
now?”
“Just callMs. Murphy,” | said flatly.
Tracy grinned and said, “Looks like Sally was right. You and Jared are really getting a divorce, huh? Or have you
already split?”
“Is that why you're here? | don’t have tfor this,” | shot back, my voice icy.
Tracy said, “Let’s grab a coffee at the place across the street. | can still help you get a better divorce settlement,
like | said before. Want to hear what I've got in mind?”
| happened to need a moment to breathe anyway, and | was curious about what Tracy would say. So | followed
her to a Starbucks across the road.

Tracy ordereda coffee and sat across from me, givingthese little once-overs every so often.
After a moment, she said, “With everything you've got going for you, Ms. Murphy, you'll have no problem finding
someone better. Honestly, splitting up with Jared is no loss for you.”
I had to admit, Tracy had both brains and charm, and her way with words was impressive. No wonder Jared had
been completely under her spell in the previous life.
| replied, “I don’t need you playing savior for me. You cback just waiting for your big break, right? Well, the
spot’s all yours now-but do you really think you can handle it?
“What makes you think you've got what it takes? Looks? You're cute, but hardly a showstopper. Skills? Jared's
already burned through most of your contacts, hasn't he? | heard Amy, the one who replaced you, is killing it.
“Tracy, ever thought you're just another cast-off, just like me? You want to fight for my share of the assets? How
are
you even going to pull that off?”
| stopped playing nice anymore. If Tracy wanted to go head-to-head, I'd just drag her into a whole new
battlefield and see how she handled it.
Sure enough, Tracy’s expression turned sour. She said, “Amy’s married. If she messes around, her husband would
flip out. It'd get ugly,”
| took a couple of sips of my coffee. Honestly, after meeting Amy and her husband last time, | always thought
there was something weird about the way they acted together.
Later, Clint messageda few times, asking if | had tto cin for a beauty treatment, saying he'd

| had a feeling that even though they were married, they were both doing their own thing on the side.
| sneered, “Tracy, Jared and | were married too, but that didn’t stop you from chasing after him, did it? Does
marriage really stop anyone?”

Tracy's expression soured, and she pressed her lips together. Then she shot back, “Thanks for agreeing to the
divorce. Whether | end up with Jared or not, that's my business.”
“He’s old news to me, but you think he’s something special? That's kind of adorable,” | drawled.
Tracy stared atwith disbelief. She exclaimed, “Old news? Ms. Murphy, that’s a fresh take. Seriously, what
kind
of mindset do you have to say something like that? Besides appearances, you and Jared have nothing going for
you together.”
“Who says? If we're such a bad match, then how'd we end up with a kid?” | fired back, deliberately twisting her
words.
Tracy’s expression soured even more.
| continued, “Maybe. But I'm letting go now. No matter how amazing Jared is, | won't look back. To me, he’s just a
familiar stranger.”
“Are you just pretending to be strong?” Tracy challenged, locking eyes with me.
| shook my head and said, “No. I've just learned to see things clearly. If you can’t hold onto something, just let it
slip away.”
