Summary
They were friends.
And yeah, maybe the ring on his finger sort of burned when he looked at her sometimes, even though it was just for show, now.
It was just easier to let her keep thinking he was still married to Abby. Safer.
It raised less eyebrows about the nature of their friendship when the ring stayed on while he was at work, the weight on his finger reminding him not to say or do anything stupid.
It also made it a little less creepy when the pet names started slipping out.

Summary
When they had made the appointment, it was specifically on his day off so that he and Abby could both be there, but he wouldn’t be surprised if she had planned this just to get back at him for the times he’d flaked on her for work.
Now that he’s met Ms. King, though, he was very thankful there was some five alarm emergency at the firm that had pulled her away.
