AmeliaI woke slowly, still half caught in the warmth of sleep, and for a few seconds I couldn't understand why I felt so comfortable. Then I became aware of the arm resting around my waist and the solid warmth behind me, and I realized that sometime during the night I had moved across the bed and ended up curled against Nathaniel.I stayed there for a moment.His breathing was slow and even against the back of my neck, and the warmth of his body felt so familiar that I found myself relaxing into him before I remembered that we were still not okay. I had spent days trying to convince myself that I needed the distance between us, yet here I was, wrapped around him in my sleep as though nothing had happened.A small smile almost found its way onto my lips before I stopped it.Carefully, I lifted his arm from around my waist and shifted away, trying not to wake him. I moved toward my side of the bed and pulled the blanket around myself, staring at the ceiling while I tried to settle the
NathanielBy the time I pulled into the driveway, the sky had already begun to darken, and I found myself slowing down even though there was no real reason to. I had driven this road countless times, usually eager to get home after a long day. Still, tonight there was something different about it because I knew Amelia was inside waiting, and I had no idea what kind of reception I was going to get.She had told me to come home, but I wasn't foolish enough to mistake that invitation for forgiveness. If anything, I was more nervous about walking through our front door now than I had been when I had left it several days ago.I turned off the engine and remained in the car for a moment, staring at the house through the windshield. The lights were on downstairs, casting a warm glow through the windows, and seeing them made something inside me loosen.I had missed this place.Not the house itself, but everything that made it home.Amelia.I finally got out of the car and walked toward the e
AmeliaI woke before my alarm and lay there a while, staring at the ceiling as the quiet of the bedroom settled around me. My hand drifted across the mattress without thought, stopping at the space beside me, and the familiar ache returned before I'd even opened my eyes fully.Nathaniel still wasn't home.I had asked him to leave, asked for space, and he'd done exactly that. Still, something was unsettling about waking up without him that I hadn't been prepared for. Years of his presence had worked their way into the ordinary corners of my life: the way he claimed half the bathroom counter, the way he reached for me in his sleep. None of those habits disappeared just because I was angry with him.I pushed the thought aside, dressed, and went downstairs.Martha was already in the kitchen, arranging a tray of fresh fruit while the smell of breakfast filled the room."Good morning, Mrs. Vaughn.""Good morning, Martha."She looked at me a moment. She didn't ask how I was feeling, but som
NathanielThe envelope had been sitting on Mercer's desk for almost five minutes before I finally reached for it.I had spent the entire morning trying not to think about it, although there was very little else occupying my mind. Every time my phone remained silent, I wondered whether Amelia had thought about me. Every time I looked at the clock, I imagined what she might be doing at home, and despite everything that had happened between us, a part of me still expected her to call and tell me she was ready to talk.She hadn't.Now I was standing in Mercer's office with the answer to the question that had been hanging over my life for weeks, and suddenly I wasn't sure I wanted to know.Mercer watched me carefully. "You should open it."I looked at the envelope in my hand. "I don't know what I would find inside.""You will only find the truth."I tore it open and pulled out the report. My eyes moved across the page once, then again, because for several seconds I couldn't make sense of
AmeliaBy late evening, I had managed to keep myself occupied with work, although I couldn't honestly say I had accomplished much. My laptop was open in front of me, and I had been going through emails that required my attention, but I kept finding myself reading the same paragraphs twice because my thoughts would drift back to everything that had happened since the previous night.The twins were fine. I had heard their heartbeats that morning, and the memory still brought a strange mixture of happiness and sadness whenever I thought about it. Nathaniel had been there too, standing beside me as we listened to those tiny, rapid beats filling the examination room, and for those few minutes, everything else had seemed unimportant.Then Blake's face would come back to me, followed by the things she had said outside the house, and the warmth of that memory would disappear almost as quickly as it had come.I was still trying to decide what I wanted to do about Nathaniel when my phone rang.
NathanielBy late evening, I was still sitting in my office with no real reason to be there. Most of the lights in the building had already been switched off, leaving only the faint glow of the city outside my windows, while my laptop remained open in front of me even though I hadn't read a single word on the screen in the past twenty minutes.I was tired of being there, but more than that, I was tired of being away from home.I had spent the entire day telling myself that giving Amelia the space she had asked for was the right thing to do, yet every hour that passed only made me more aware of how badly I wanted to see her. I wanted to walk through our front door and find her sitting in the living room, even if she refused to speak to me. I wanted to hear her voice, see her face, and know that she was safe, because being away from her while knowing that I was the reason she was hurting felt unbearable.My phone rang, and when I glanced at the screen, I saw my mother's name.For a mom
Rain continued pouring from the sky while Amelia sat collapsed on the pavement outside the house she used to call home.Her hair clung to her face.Her clothes were soaked through completely.But she barely felt the cold anymore.The older woman standing beneath the umbrella looked deeply uncomfort
Amelia stared at the divorce papers like they were written in another language.The words blurred through her tears until she could barely make them out anymore.DIVORCE AGREEMENT.Her hands started shaking instantly.“No…”Daniel leaned back in his chair with terrifying calm.“It’s over, Amelia.”
By the time Amelia stumbled out of Carter Enterprises, she could barely see through her tears.Rain poured heavily from the sky, cold droplets soaking through her clothes within seconds, but she barely noticed. Her entire body felt numb, hollowed out from the inside.Daniel’s words kept echoing in
The house still smelled like Noah.Amelia noticed it the moment she stepped out of her bedroom, and the realization hit her so hard she had to steady herself against the wall.Strawberry shampoo.Chocolate cereal.The sweet powdery scent of the baby soap Noah still insisted on using even though he
