Ava “So Rowan?” Ethan asks me as we drive back home. After the incident in the bathroom, I didn’t want to be anywhere near Rowan so I had asked Ethan to take me home thirty minutes later. “He’s my ex-husband” I reply toneless and we fall into silence I still couldn’t believe the nerve Rowan had
Getting up in annoyance, I put my bathrobe on and storm down stairs. Whoever it was that disturbed me was going to get an earful. I wrench my door open, ready to curse the person but I stop dead in my tracks. The last person I expected to see was currently standing on my doorstep. “What do you wan

Ethan is seated on her right with a bunch of open cards. Ava is seated slightly upwards. Despite the bandage on her head, and the scratches on her face, she was smiling and it transformed her face. She faces me and the smile slips from her face. “Get out” she demands. I guess she was back to bein
Ava “I missed you mommy, why didn’t you call me?” Noah asks me, sadness in his voice. I wanted more than anything to hold him in my arms. Just to reassure myself that I was still with him. That I wasn’t going to leave him motherless. “I’m sorry my love, I lost my phone and I had to borrow your da
