I read Lone Eagle by Danielle Steel for at least 90 minutes
Joe and Kate continued to see each other while Andy was away. As a matter of fact, he stayed at the apartment with Kate and Reed. Kate continued to write to Andy, mostly about Reed and in August, she and Reed went to spend a week with her parents at the Cape.
Joe showed up at the Cape and Kate's parents suspected there was something going on between the two of them which she denied. She enjoyed spending time with Joe.
By the end of September, Joe and Kate had been living together for two months. Joe wanted Kate to divorce Andy and marry him. After several long discussions, Kate decided she would. Andy was to be home the next day.
Andy returned and Kate was very standoffish towards him. She wanted to tell him she wanted a divorce but he would not listen to her. She told him that is what she wanted but he refused to grant her a divorce. Without Andy's consent, their would be no divorce. Kate went to Joe and told her of Andy's decision. She knew there was nothing she could do.
Andy went to see Joe the next day. He told Joe that Kate was fragile and couldn't handle what this was doing to her. He lied to Joe and told him she had tried to commit suicide when she had left him before and she was now seeing a psychiatrist twice a week. Joe believed everything Andy was telling him. He couldn't take the chance of Kate hurting herself so he did what he had to do. Joe broke it off with Kate.
Andy and Kate stayed married but they lived in separate bedrooms with separate lives for nearly 14 months. Kate got drunk on New Year's Eve and slept with Andy. By the end of January Kate knew she was pregnant and she told Andy. Andy could see how miserable the two of them were and he told Kate he was moving out.
Kate waited until the baby was born and then when Stephanie was four weeks old, she went with the kids to Reno to get a divorce. Andy had told her to go back to Joe but she knew that he was engaged to somebody else now. Kate and Joe ran into each other buying Christmas trees. She told him of her divorce and about Stephanie. He said that his engagement wasn't going well. They asked each other if they thought it could work again with them. They decided they should try again and Joe broke off his engagement and went to Kate's apartment to be with her and the kids.
