Day 9 The Lady or the Tiger

Day 9   Dragging a minivan full of people from Nahant to Martha's Vineyard is not easy.  Just writing about getting everyone packed and the minivan loaded took forever!  It didn't help that my main character, Monty, unloaded 11 years of lies onto her love interest, Kevin.  He did not take the revelations well and his attitude shifted drastically, but he didn't drop off the road trip.  He stuck it out.

Two of the kids had to go to the bathroom again before they got out of the driveway, but once I got the group out on the road, they had smooth sailing traffic-wise.  At first they were going to stop in Newton to pick up some papers Monty needs to look at in connection with the mystery of her other love interest's sister's murder.  (This makes more sense if you have read my prequel available on Smashwords at Prequel: A Guy's Dream Come True)

With all those kids in the car, I opted to have Monty stop on the way back from the Vineyard when she'll be traveling with just her daughter and Logan.  (Kevin has to fly back to New York after the 4th of July celebration at the Mavericks' home on the Vineyard to be in the city on the 5th.) 

So, anyway, things with Kevin are weird and she has to stop at her mom's house in Hyannis where she's going to leave the minivan and they are all taking the fast ferry out to Oak Bluffs.  This is Kevin's first visit to Monty's mom's house.  He knows her from movie premieres and events and she's been to his dad's houses, but he sees all the photos from Monty's life on her mom's walls and things click for him.  He is starting to understand why she lied to him all these years.

On the ferry, Monty gets a text message right before the ferry leaves that Logan tracked his fiancee to L.A. where she ran off with one of his teammates.  He's not happy and he lets Monty know he's still interested in seeing where things with her might be heading.  Monty's with Kevin, but she doesn't know if that is going anywhere, either, so she texts Logan he's still welcome to join them for the 4th on the Vineyard. 

Ok, so here's the deal - does Monty want the "Lady" which is the easy relationship with Logan or the relationship she "should" have with Kevin, the guy she's loved for a long time?

OR.... does she have 2 tigers behind the doors?  One very angry tiger because Monty invited another guy along on "their" annual get-together on the Vineyard (although Kevin has brought girlfriends to the Vineyard in the past) and a second tiger (a very sexy tiger!)

Uh Oh....

Looking forward to Day 8 to see what happens tomorrow...
