"So, it was you" he half laughs
"I'm sorry" I laugh.
"Do you really have a tattoo on your boob, though?" He asks.
"Nope"
"So you lied" he shakes his head.
"I'm sorry" I say again.
"You said something to me" he squints his eyes, trying to recall "What was it again?"
"Always expect the worst" we say at the exact same time then I burst out in laughter.
"There was a reason for that though" I say.
"Oh, really. Let's hear it"
"I realized early in life that if you expect the worst and the worst happens, you're still happy because you predicted correctly and if something better than the worst happens you're happy because... Obviously, something went good. It's a win win, always win situation."
He stares at me in bewilderment.
"What?" I ask, a grin plastered on my face.
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
"Well, I don't know... Life happened, I guess" I shrug then something strikes me.<

The rest of the week goes by really quickly.It's Thursday evening and Amanda is helping me get ready for dinner with Mrs. Kavanagh and her family."You prefer it up or down?" Amanda asks as she pulls my hair up then down again and I watch her through the mirror."Which do you think is better?" I ask."I like it down" she replies."Then down it is" I shrug.I'm wearing a nice, simple, flowery short gown with my new flats and my hair has been curled by Amanda and now cascades down my back."You look beautiful" Amanda says, admiring her handwork."Thank you" I say just as a knock is heard on the door."Come in" I call. Anthony pushes through the door."Hi" I say."Hi" he replies and that's it. He just stays there staring."So?" I prompt, though I'm enjoying his eyes scanning me multiple times."They're here" he says recovering."Kay. I'll be down in a second" I reply and watch as he turns

"What's going on?" Amanda says, perplexed as she walks into the room "I've only just noticed that the guests left before dinner""I couldn't do it" I cry "my mother, she...""Shhh" she coos, coming over to give me a hug.I sob into her shoulder "I have to go, Amanda. I can't stay in his house""What...what are you talking about?" She pulls away and stares me in the eyes."I'm leaving" I wipe my tears and try to look better than I feel."It's almost midnight. Where the hell are you going?" Her eyes go wide."It's about an hour from midnight" I correct."Big difference" she rolls her eyes "You can't go anywhere...not right now at least""What I can't do is to stay in this house with him anymore" fresh tears start to fall."I understand that and I support your decision but it's f*****g late, Olivia and you have a damn baby in your womb" she cusses at me for the first time ever."And I don't give two f**ks, I'm

Chris and Crystal were very hospitable but it's hard to enjoy this when all you feel is pain, grief, anger and regret.They don't ask many questions, a gesture I am most grateful for.Chris dropped me off at the airport early today and now the plane is about to land in Seattle. The scene is different, homey. It feels good to be home.I try to bask in the joy of being home again but it's short lived, in a few seconds, the huge, air restricting pain is back in full force and I can only hope to get off the plane quickly to get some fresh air.Making my way out of the plane, I catch sight of a rather sober Stella and my heart drops. She's sad because I'm sad, this is so heart breaking because Stella is never sad.I make my way over to her and she gives me a tight, warm hug which only makes me break into tears."It's okay" she coos "he's far away from you now"Somehow, hearing the words out loud makes me cry even more. "I know" I sob.

When did she get back?I ignore her statement and say instead "how was work?"Every evening, Stella gets back from work and I ask how work went then she starts telling me all about her day and I pretend to listen. I expect that to happen again but it doesn't."Oh, come on" she says in

"When was the last time you ate?" He looks a little mad "you look like you've lost at least five pounds""Anthony, why are you here?" I ask, going for nonchalance even though I'm ecstatic that he's here."To take you home" he says simply."Take me home" I choke out "...but nothing's changed""She's not going to be investing in SMT" he says "as a matter of fact, SMT has a new owner""You sold it?!" I almost yell."Not necessarily" he shrugs "but I have this wife I think would do great managing it"My eyes grow wide as fried eggs "did you get married again?"He rolls his eyes "no, Olivia, I didn't""Then...I know nothing about running a company, Anthony" I burst out."You'll learn" he shrugs "...and fast, if I know you well""Oh, God" I rub my eyes, trying to assimilate this new inform

Violet has been rather quiet, going around the house without saying a word to me but her death glares are never-ending.It's been a few days since I got back from Seattle and I can safely say, these past few days have been the best days of my life.Apparently, Anthony never shared a room with Violet, actually, he's never shared a room with anyone. He likes his privacy.He's had me move into his room though, a gesture that made my heart swell and equally made Violet furious.It's the early hours of the morning and I'm strolling out of Anthony's bedroom with the same wide grin I've woken up with every morning since I got back.Amanda's the first one I see."Good morning, Mrs. Trevelyan" she smiles, fondly "you look delightful""Good morning, Amanda" I grin "uh...""He's in his office" she answers the question I was about to ask."Okay, thanks" I say, trying to recall where exactly the office is.Why the
