He Married the Other Woman

Daniel Whitfield married the other woman eleven months after their divorce. Marissa read about it on a plane. Now her mother is dead, the will names a foundry Marissa thought the bank had taken, and the deed has Daniel's signature on it. He bought it the same week her father died. He has been running it, quietly, at a loss, ever since. She wants to sell it and go home to Portland. He wants to hand it over and disappear. Neither of them gets what they want. Because his second marriage was a merger, and it's over, and he is still the man who said nothing when it mattered. Marissa has one condition for the foundry: that he stand on the floor and tell every one of those hundred workers what he did. He does.
