He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 139. Nights That Feel Like Us
Ethan’s POVThe house is quiet again.But this time… it doesn’t feel heavy.It feels lived in.I step into the bedroom slowly, closing the door behind me as my eyes adjust to the soft light coming from the lamp on Lena’s side.She’s already in bed.Sitting up against the headboard, a loose shirt slipping slightly off her shoulder, her hair falling around her face in that effortless way that always makes it hard to look anywhere else.She glances up when I walk in.There’s no tension in her expression.No guarded distance.Just awareness.Of me.“You took long,” she says softly.“I was making sure Eli was settled,” I reply, loosening the shirt at my collar.“He’s asleep?” she asks.“Out,” I say. “Didn’t even fight it tonight.”She smiles faintly at that, then shifts slightly, pulling the blanket down just enough to make space beside her.Not awkward.Not hesitant.Just… an invitation.My chest tightens in a way I haven’t felt in a long time.I move toward the bed slowly, not rushing it
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 138. Keenan’s New Life
Keenan’s POVI never thought I’d be the kind of guy who noticed things like curtains or kitchen counters or whether a couch felt like home or just something to sit on but here I am standing in the middle of my living room staring at a throw pillow like it personally offended me.“That pillow has done nothing to you,” James says from behind me.I glance over my shoulder.He’s leaning against the doorway arms crossed watching me with that calm, amused expression he always has when he thinks I’m being dramatic.Which is often.“It’s the color,” I reply, frowning slightly. “It doesn’t match anything.”“It’s gray,” he says.“Exactly.”He lets out a quiet laugh and pushes himself off the wall, walking into the room like he owns it which he kind of does now or at least half of it that thought should feel weird it doesn’t it feels right.“You bought this place,” he says, picking up the pillow and tossing it casually onto the couch. “You don’t get to complain about the furniture you chose.”“I
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 137. The Town Changes
Lena’s POVThe sound of construction wakes me before my alarm does not loud enough to be annoying just constant.A low hum of movement that wasn’t here before for a second I lie still, staring at the ceiling trying to place it then it hits me.The island it’s changing again.I push the blanket back slowly and sit up, stretching carefully before glancing toward Eli’s crib. He’s still asleep, his tiny chest rising and falling in that steady rhythm that somehow makes everything feel okay, even when it isn’t.I smile softly and stand walking over to him. “Good morning, baby,” I whisper brushing my fingers lightly over his cheek.He stirs but doesn’t wake luckily. I slip out of the room quietly grabbing a loose sweater before stepping outside.The air smells different, cleaner and fresh there is movement down the road already workers walking, trucks passing slowly, people talking in low voices as they start their day.I lean against the porch railing watching it all when Ethan first came h
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 136. Staying
Ethan’s POVI’ve never felt this sure about anything in my life.Not business deals.Not investments.Not even the company I built from the ground up.Those things took planning. Strategy. Risk.This?This feels simple.Not easy.But simple.I stand on the porch, looking out over the water as the early morning light spreads across the island. The place already looks different than it did weeks ago. Cleaner. Brighter. Alive in a way it hasn’t been in years.And it’s only the beginning.Behind me, I hear the door open softly.I don’t need to turn to know it’s her.Lena steps out, her movements slower this early in the morning, her hair loose around her shoulders, Eli resting against her chest. He’s half asleep, his tiny hand curled into her shirt like he refuses to let go.The sight of them hits me the same way it always does now.Deep.Quiet.Permanent.“You’re up early,” she says, her voice still soft from sleep.I glance back at her, a small smile pulling at my mouth.“Couldn’t sleep
He Divorced Me On Our Anniversary 135. Choosing Each Other
Lena’s POVThe house is quiet not the kind of quiet that feels empty but the kind that feels full like something is sitting in the air between us waiting to be noticed.I stand in the kitchen my fingers wrapped loosely around a mug I forgot to drink from, my eyes drifting toward the doorway without meaning to.He is there of course he is Ethan leans against the frame like he has been standing there for a while, watching me in that way of his that makes my skin feel too tight for my body.Not intense or demanding just there and somehow that is worse because I don’t know how to fight something that isn’t pushing me.“You have been staring at that mug for a solid five minutes,” he says his voice low almost amused.I huff softly finally looking down at it. “I was thinking.”“Dangerous,” he replies.I roll my eyes but there is no heat behind it. “You used to like that about me.”“I still do.”The way he says it without hesitation, without doubt does something to my chest that I don’t know

He stirs slightly but doesn’t wake his tiny fingers curled against me like he already knows this is where he was safest and for a moment I just stand there breathing letting everything settle or at least trying to because my life doesn’t look anything like it did a few months ago not even close.My father is alive that thought still feels strange in my mind like something I haven’t fully allowed myself to understand yet. He’s here somewhere close trying in his own quiet way to be part of my life again without forcing it.The people who destroyed my family are finally falling the truth is out the lies are breaking apart one by one and
