Thea

I'm not really sure what to say, so I don't say anything at all. Instead, I turn the water on and begin to rinse the conditioner from her hair, continuing to run the comb through the long locks, checking for more tangles. “Does it hurt?” I asked, wanting to make sure that I'm not causing her any pain as I continue to comb through.

She shakes her head no.

“Do you want to talk about your dad some more? Sometimes when we talk about our feelings, it makes us feel less trapped by them and I don’t mind listening.” She seems to respond well to being spoken to like an adult, so I'm going to give her that courtesy where I can. She might only be eight, but she is absolutely mature for her age. Maybe trauma is to blame, or maybe she's just incredibly intelligent.

She doesn't say anything so I ask a different question, probing gently as I rinse the last of the conditioner from her hair and comb out the final tangle. “Did you mean those things you said to him? I know that sometimes I say thin

    Thea I'm at a loss. I don't know what to do next or how to handle this situation. Add to the fact that my brain, heart and body can't seem to agree on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, and I'm completely frozen and unsure what to do now.“Thank you for that,” I say as Azura hurries off to go meet the chickens. I follow her, noticing Blake keeping step with me.“Nothing to thank me for.” He doesn't seem to think he's done anything, but oh my goodness, is he wrong.When the day finally comes to a close and Azura is winding down from her exciting day at home, I glance at Blake and ask point blank, “Do you want me to stay tonight or am I going home?”This has become the way that I pressure him to tell me the plan. It’s also the way I've been told for the last three nights to stay. I've already told him that being all live-in is highly inconvenient for me and he shot right back that Azura goes to bed much better when I'm the one that handles her bedtime ritual; plus, she wakes

    Thea“I’m just having a good time with you, you know, just the two of us.” She seems a bit flustered, as if she's having difficulty articulating what she's feeling, but I'm not about to judge her emotional state.“I'm having a good time with you too.” As I say the words, she lights up and does a tiny little dance with her shoulders and I recognize her need for validation and to hear that her company is enjoyable.“Azura!”We both turn as Blake walks up, his arms wide open and ready for her.“Just remember, your father loves you, even if he's not good at showing it.” I say the words as a gentle push, and Azura nods her head before walking over to her father and giving him a hug. He presses a kiss to the top of her head, hugging her tight, before nodding at me in a gesture of thanks. All at once, I realize he knows that I'm the reason she came over to hug him.That thought both irks me and leaves me feeling kind of warm. I don't like the thought that he is positioning me to get what he

    TheaThree days later...“Oh, look at the cute little cow over there!” I gesture toward a fenced in area with cows at the petting zoo and Azura glances over, her face lit up with an excited smile. The cow in question is a mixture of brown and white, with brown speckles and white patches of fur and a pretty face with gentle eyes.I watch Azura bounce over before rubbing the cow on the forehead as the pretty animal lowers her head as if saying hello. The sight warms my heart.I can still remember the wistful look on Azura's face the first time she talked about the petting zoo and how she hasn't seen her grandmother in a while. I haven't been able to get to the bottom of any of that, not with Azura and not with Blake.Still, today was on the books as a day to get out of the house and enjoy the sunshine, so I figured taking Azura to the petting zoo would be a good way to get her out, active, and make her happy. Of course, I'd cleared our little field trip with Blake to make sure we had hi

    Blake“I just want to know what you've done differently than everyone else who has tried.” Maybe that's not the whole truth, but there's no way I can tell her the whole truth.She shakes her head again, clearly not buying my explanation. “No, there's more to it than that; you're jealous. You're angry. Why?” This time, she takes a step closer to me. “You're threatened by me. You're threatened that I managed to get through to her, that she trusts me when she doesn't trust you.”This little power struggle has absolutely turned and is no longer in my favor... and I don't like that one bit.“Just tell me what you did differently than everyone else.” I don't want to address anything else she said. Because I don't want to lie to her and I sure as hell don't want to tell her the truth.“I don't know what everyone else did, so I can't tell you what I did differently.” She says the words with a bit of sass that frustrates me more than anything. “All I can say is that it started with Azura's hai

    BlakeI can't stop thinking about her scent, or the way I could see her pulse pounding in the hollow at the base of her throat when I leaned in close to whisper in her ear, or the dream I had about her last night. I can still feel the way she responded to my body, and I know that she wanted me to kiss her.The memory of carrying her to bed as she snuggled into my arms replays in my mind over and over again, and I can’t get those thoughts to leave me alone for even a second.Everything that I feel for Thea is confusing and contradictory, and I'm not sure what to do about that uncomfortable fact.The fact that she keeps challenging me is both intriguing and frustrating at the same time. But she's right. I can see after one day that she and Azura already have a startling connection, and it makes me face the fact that I am clearly the problem in my daughter's life.Even though I've been watching the pair talking in Azura’s room while Thea puts up my daughter's hair, I decide that I need t

    TheaI nearly leap out of my skin as I spin to face Blake, my heart pounding so hard I see spots before my eyes. “I'm sorry. You didn't come home last night. I didn't want to just leave. I wasn't sure what to do and I made a judgment call. I'm sorry if it was the wrong one.” The words just pour out of me, shaking as hard as I'm sure my hands are as my mouth feels dry and my pulse thunders in my throat. My hand slips up to gently wrap around my neck as if that'll calm the thumping there, and his eyes lock on my fingers for a moment before ticking back to up meet mine.Even though it's first thing in the morning, he doesn't look disheveled. No, he looks clean, showered, groomed, well-dressed in slacks and another fitted tee-shirt - this time in a deep green - that shows off his powerful arms and flat abs... he looks ready to take on the day.He looks absolutely delicious, but I have no right to be thinking about him like that. He's my boss.“I'm not upset, I'm grateful.” His clipped ton
