So much for that.
But at least she knew Cole wasn’t going to be a problem here. She’d received a message yesterday that the judge had granted the order, and once the authorities served Cole with the papers putting the order into effect, he’d keep his distance. He was too damn smart and appearance--conscious not to. And, as an attorney, he’d obviously realize that getting caught violating a protective order would create problems with the bar in addition to problems with the police.
Kat couldn’t wait for the order to be served. Not only would it give her peace of mind that he’d stay away, but the no--contact provision should also cut off the stream of demanding and accusatory texts and voice mails she’d received since she pulled a no--show for their talk Friday night. Couldn’t happen soon enough.
Given everything that was going on with her brothers, the knowledge that the order would diffuse the Cole situation allowed Kat to breathe a sigh of relief. Because they really couldn’t handle even one more complication.
