She cleared her throat. "My ex-husband, Richard. Ben's father." She cleared her throat again. "He came to see you?" "Yesterday." "And you didn't call me." It wasn't a question. More a statement, more just wanting to make sure she had the facts of her life straight. "You didn't think that was worth calling me about." I sighed. "Mistake, huh?" Silence again. Pike and Teri were watching me until Pike shook his head and turned away. Sometimes you can't win.
