You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 47

“Are they divorced yet?”

“No way to know.”

Tina had barely stepped inside when Emerson called out from the living room.

She poured herself a glass of water, took a long drink, and finally answered, “My guess? Theo already gave them a heads-up.”

“But Kelly swears they’re divorced.”

Emerson went quiet, fingers laced together, slowly rubbing his knuckles. “Let’s not do anything until we’re sure. For now, just wait.”

If the Newton family wasn’t backing Patricia anymore, and the Parsons family was off in another city, they’d have an easy time making their move—there was no need to rush.

“What a waste of my time,” Tina grumbled, throwing herself onto the couch. “Kelly’s always so full of herself. I should’ve known better than to take her word for it.”

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she got, so she took another gulp of water.

Emerson tried to reassure her. “Just don’t say anything to Ruby yet. Whether Patricia and Theo are divorced or not, we can’t let them meet up. No need to stir up a mess.”

Especially with the Miller family still tangled up in all this.

They needed a real plan.

Around noon, Patricia had barely come back from the cemetery when Kelly came storming in, practically shaking with anger.

She marched straight in, jabbing a finger at Patricia. “Just tell me—did you and Theo get divorced or not?”

“We did.”

“If you’re divorced, then why are you still hanging around, running off to complain to him?”
