Chapter 46 - Part 1

Victoria POV:

A week after Caleb went back to Los Angeles, I finally went back home. I had not initially intended on staying at Alice's house for so long but she and her husband Ben had been very persuasive and I had a blast with them. Ben doted on us and by the end of that week, I felt spoiled rotten. He even got me flowers. Flowers! Alice was one lucky girl.

When I got home, I decided to pass by the main house to say hi to my mom. Tom went on a business trip to San Francisco that morning and would not be able to return until Saturday so this was the first night that my mom and Tom would be separated since they got married. I wanted to see how she was holding up. I walked into the house and called out for her from the foyer.

She peeked her head out of the living room to see who it was. When she saw that I was me she came towards me with the magazine she was holding in one hand and pulled me into a warm hug. I was almost thirty years old but I could live in my mom’s hug forever. After
