I'm going to backpedal a little bit here, maybe take a little of my courage everyone is always marveling over and dilute it in a little river of gasoline. I'll swirl my finger around in it until it's good and dissolved and then I'll throw the match. When it burns a good hot sparky line down the brick I'll run back inside and slam the door.
I got my comeuppance this morning in Caleb's lawyers' office for writing about things I am not supposed to write about. They are so gentle and kind about it though. As instructed by him.
Bridget, we've been monitoring your social media and-
I don't have any social media unless you mean doughnut recipes and Alexander McQueen accessories on Pinterest-
Your blog-
Oh, that. I suppose he wants it taken down.
He just doesn't want you writing about specifics of the case. The broadest of mentions is as far as it can go and you've now been incredibly detailed as to point out that there was a start point and a settlement reached in a judge's office. That's too far and he would like you to stop.
Why couldn't he tell me?
Your... Lochlan keeps punching him and no one listens when that happens. He thought this might be more peaceful.
But I smile inwardly. ("Your Lochlan").
Do I have to remove anything?
No. Just don't write anymore about the specifics.
Fine.
He said including this conversation.
Bullshit, no he didn't.
He did, he even said if he didn't, you'd post it verbatim.
Tell him I'm doing that and then I'll cut him some slack.
Also if Lochlan continues to strike or make contact there will be police involvement.
The hell there will.
He says he knew you would say that and his response is 'exactly'.
Tell him if the tables were turned Lochlan would be dead already.
He says to tell you he knows. He says 'Sad face', he is sorry. Can he make it up to you?
Tell him no.
He already knows that as well and thanks you for your time and understanding and says to have this twenty to get an ice cream on your way out of the building (Lawyer holds out crisp green Queen).
Awesome! How much did you bill him for this twenty?
That's confidential.
Probably three...three-fifty, right?
Have a nice day, Ms. C____.
Tell Mr. C_____ what my name is one of these days, would you?
I've tried. He insists we call you this to agitate you.
Is it even legal?
The paperwork is correct so that's all that matters.
