    Hugo The next morning, I felt marginally better. Luca's lecture and Michael's unconditional love had grounded me. My son had crawled into bed with me at dawn, his small body warm and solid against mine, and whispered, "Daddy, you smell sad." Kids. They saw everything. "Daddy made a mistake with a friend," I'd told him, smoothing his wild morning hair. " I'm going to fix it." "Is it RiRi?" he'd asked, those big eyes so much like mine looking up at me with concern. "Yeah, buddy. It's RiRi." "You should say sorry and bring cookies. That's what you tell me to do." So here I was, mid-morning, headed to Erica's house with my crutches awkward under my arms and a peace offering in a paper bag—pastries from Flour & Co., the only bakery in the city that could possibly compete with The Sweet Spot. It was the thought that counted, right? I needed to see her, to apologize properly. To explain that my jealousy had gotten the better of me, that I'd been an ass, that her happiness mattered mo

    Erica The hot chocolate did nothing to warm the cold knot in my stomach. I was curled on my sofa, the daisy print of my onesie feeling absurdly cheerful against my bleak mood. The voicemails piled up: two from Luca checking if I was coming to dinner, one from a worried-sounding Blane, and three from Marc, each more strained than the last. I'd listened to the first one. Just the sound of his voice, deep, careful tone he used when he was trying not to fall apart it had made my chest ache so badly I'd nearly thrown my phone across the room. I didn't listen to the other two. I couldn't. Not yet. The afternoon light was fading through my curtains, casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. I'd called in sick to the bakery for the first time in three years. Blane had sounded appropriately concerned, though I suspected he knew exactly why I wasn't coming in. Everyone seemed to know everything except me. That was what hurt most. Not even the image of Kiki draped over Marc like e

    Chapter 25 Hugo I really feel bad for what I did I wish I could take back what I said I wish I could take back what I did and I wish I wouldn't have post-traumatic stress from the accident that happened but truth be told I do have post-traumatic stress and I do need help with regards to getting my mental status wrecked I cannot believe that I snapped at the wrong person. I can't explain it one minute I was fine I was doing ok then next minute I just refuse last thing I wanted to do was hurt the one person that has been more supportive through both hard times and challenging times emotionally with regards to my son if it wasn't for Erica I wouldn't have formed an unbreakable Bond with my son . Blane metro that I was seated properly and everything I needed was taken care of but the restaurant was closed for the rest of the evening which meant that we were all going to have a lovely time with one person missing and she was the one person that we all wanted to come to dinner but it loo

    Chapter 23HugoI have never suffered from post traumatic stress before , neither have I been caught off guard with regards to the nightmares that I have been having since the accident happened .I have had trouble sleeping but I think I’ve been able to handle it well and up until now . Erica has a calming effect on me , half the time I am not in pretence mode and I can be myself with her . I didn’t understand why Marc made sure everyone knew that she was his and no one else’s until I actually sad down and talked to her.Her forgiving and understanding nature makes it easier for anyone to talk to her and I don’t think I am the only one who thinks that Mikayla doesn’t deserve her as a boss or friend .When the truck passed by the four way stop I flashed back to the day of the accident. I started reliving the whole audile. The truck smashing into the car

    Chapter 22 Erica As much as I didn't want to cry I couldn't hold back my tears. Mikayla has a flaw ; she doesn't pay attention to her surroundings and when she focuses on one thing , it's the only thing that matters. I was sorting out tomorrow's orders and packing them as they came in . I was just about done with the last lot when I saw Hugo come in . I also hadn't talked to Marc all day because I left his place this morning without saying goodbye . I would have kissed him good morning and made him breakfast before work but a woman came knocking at his door dressed in nothing but a trench coat and heels, because she was shivering and she thought I was Marc's helper because of my skin colour . She also started blabbering about how she needed Marc's cock and that it was unlike him to just not answer her texts all weekend and disappear without telling her anything. I knew Marc had a busy day today ,and I was going to leave my clothes at his house and head straight there after wo
