Chapter 36

.

That night Kendall and Greenlee told their respective children aout their relationship. Spike and Ian took it well. They were six and four. They understood little about dating other than that their aunt Greenlee would be over the house. Emma however was considerably older. To her, Greenlee was betraying her father's memory. All the goodwill Greenlee had built up over the last year as Emma's mother seemed to dissapear in a matter of minutes. The next day Greenlee saw Kendall at work and they spoke privately.

.

Greenlee: Emma's mad at me.

Kendall: Because of me.

Greenlee: I wouldn't say that. She thinks I'm betraying Ryan's memory. I need to take a leave of absense from Fusion.

Kendall: I understand, you need to be there for your daughter.

Greenlee: For the forseable future Emma will only speak to me to yell or say something nasty. But I will be there when she needs me. I'll win her back, just you wait.

Kendall: I know you will.

Greenlee: The thing is, I can't betray Emma. I'm sorry Kendall, but whatever we had, it's over.

Kendall: I'm sorry too. Just know that, I'll never forget how you were there for me when I really needed it. It'll be with me forever.
