Quit Bein' Ugly (The Southern Gentleman 3)

Karen, on the other hand, hadn’t had it nearly as bad.

But she did lose her license, had a restraining order against her for both Croft and me, and moved out of the country to boot.

Partners Law Firm had closed its doors.

They were laughed out of town, actually, and all of the cases they’d so called ‘won’ lately had to be retried.

It. Was. Awesome.

And, bonus points, Croft had done better the second time around.

Speaking of…

“Today’s the first day of the big trial, right?” I asked.

Croft had been working on a case that was going to be big.

It also had to do with Schultz’s sister, and the woman that’d dated my brother before Camryn had come into the picture.

“Yep,” he said. “She’s going to go down.”

I grinned like the loser I was, because I seriously couldn’t stand that woman.

“Kick ass, babe!”

He rolled his eyes and then walked into his closet.

I walked into mine, and we met in the bathroom a few minutes later to finish getting dressed.

“Oh, hey!” he called out, voice muffled. “I got a graduation announcement from Bryan Abrams sent to my office. Do you want to go?”

I rolled my eyes. “Of course, I want to go! I’m so proud of how far he’s come. I can’t believe he’s already graduating.”

Croft snorted. “That happens when you get your life together.”

That was true. Bryan had definitely turned his life around, and I was proud as hell that I’d had a hand in helping him do that.

Once Croft was dressed, he went to help Gavin, and in the end we all walked out the door on time.

Motherfreakin’ win!

“Love you, hubby!” I called as I was about to drop down into my car.

He winked. “Love you, too, Mike.”

I flipped him off.

But it didn’t bother me like it used to.

Not when it was my sexy husband calling me by it.
