I Want A Divorce Chapter 27 - Hurt
LUNA Daddy picked me up and put me on his lap in the big chair. His face looked serious, like when he had to tell me that Grandma's dog went to heaven, but also happy, like when I got a good report from preschool. "Princess, I have something exciting to tell you," he said, smoothing my hair back. "How would you feel about moving to New York to be with Mommy?" I tilted my head, confused. "But we already live with Mommy." "Well, yes, but Mommy has been working in New York, remember? And we've been here without her." I thought about this. Mommy had been gone a lot lately. She used to tuck me in every single night and read me stories, but then she started going away. Sometimes for just a few days, but the last time felt really, really long. "We're going to live in New York?" I asked. "That's right. We'll get a new house there, and you'll go to a new school, and we'll all be together every day." My tummy got all fluttery with excitement. "Every day? Mommy won't go away anymore?" "N

SERA"Why?" I asked quietly. "After everything you've put me through, after the humiliation and the pain and the way you've made me feel invisible in my own family, why are you fighting this? Why won't you just let me go?" I hated how my voice shook, how obvious it was that I was holding back tears. He was quiet for a long moment, just looking at me with those intense green eyes that had once made my heart race. Now they just made me tired."Because I care about you," he said finally. "I care about you more than I've ever cared about anyone except Luna. I care about our marriage, about our family, about the life we've built together."He was quiet for a moment, like he was gathering courage for what he was about to say."I meant what I said about New York," he said finally. "I want to move there. With you and Luna," He admitted with an honesty I hadn't heard from him in a long time. I let out a slow breath, studying his face. "You're serious.""Completely serious. I've been thinking

SERAThe hospital room was filled with flowers and get-well cards when we arrived. Vivienne looked pale against the white sheets, but she managed a weak smile when she saw us in the doorway."Luna!" she said softly, her voice hoarse but warm. "You came to see me.""Miss Vivienne!" Luna broke away from my hand and ran to the bedside, her yellow dress bright against the sterile hospital room. "I was so worried about you! Are you feeling better?""Much better now that you're here, sweetheart." Vivienne's eyes filled with tears as Luna carefully climbed onto the chair beside her bed. "You look so pretty in that dress."I stayed by the door, watching the interaction with a hollow yet aching feeling in my chest. Darius moved to the other side of the room, his hands shoved deep in his pockets, looking uncomfortable."Daddy brought you flowers," Luna announced, pointing to the bouquet in Darius's hands. "And I drew you a picture!""Did you? I can't wait to see it." Vivienne accepted the drawi

DARIUSThe hospital fluorescent lights had given me a headache that pounded behind my eyes as I finally walked through our front door. Dawn was breaking through the windows, casting everything in a gray, exhausted light that matched how I felt inside.I'd spent the entire night in that sterile waiting room, then by Vivienne's bedside once they'd stabilized her. The doctors said it was severe dehydration combined with her medication, nothing immediately life-threatening, but they wanted to keep her for observation.Every hour that ticked by, I'd thought about Sera. About how I'd left her in our bed, vulnerable and wanting, to rush to another woman's side. About the look on her face when I'd grabbed my clothes and walked out on what could have been the beginning of us finding our way back to each other.I was an ass. A complete and total ass.My feet felt heavy as I climbed the stairs to our bedroom. The door was closed, and I could hear the shower running. Part of me wanted to knock, t

SERA"Let's talk about us. About how I want things to be okay between us again and maybe..." His green orbs darkened, "Better.""Darius—""Don't shut me out, Sera. Please." His lips brushed against my jaw, making me shiver. "I know I've hurt you. But I want to fix this. I want to fix us."Mary's words from earlier came rushing back to me.Maybe she was right. Maybe I didn't have to give up on us. Maybe we could work through this, find our way back to each other despite everything that had happened."I want that too," I whispered, and his whole body seemed to relax with relief.Then his mouth was on mine again, and this time I kissed him back with everything I had. My arms went around his neck, my fingers tangling in his dark hair, and I felt him groan against my lips.He backed me toward his bedroom, his hands roaming over my body, reacquainting themselves with curves he probably didn't remember touching that drunken night years ago. When my back hit the door, he pressed himself again

SERAThe ride home from Mary's was quiet except for Luna's sleepy chatter from her car seat. She was telling us about the story Vivienne had read to her while we were all talking downstairs, her little voice getting softer as exhaustion took over."And then the princess found her prince and they lived happily ever after," Luna mumbled, her head dropping against the side of her seat.I turned to look at her, my heart squeezing at how innocent she looked. How simple her world still was, where princesses always got their happy endings and love conquered everything."That sounds like a beautiful story, baby," I whispered.By the time we pulled into our driveway, Luna was completely asleep. Darius carried her inside, her little arms wrapped around his neck, her face peaceful against his shoulder. I followed behind them, my heels clicking on the hardwood as we made our way upstairs.Watching Darius tuck Luna into bed, smoothing her hair back and pulling her favorite blanket up to her chin,
