    I open the front door and smile widely. “Let me take that!” I insist. Lily and Pedro come into the house carrying drinks and snacks. “No need to upset the baby!” “I’m barely pregnant, Esme,” my best friend taunts. “Two months is nothing.” “As someone who’s had two babies, I can promise you that yo

    “Save the kissing for your personal time!” I hear Annie prodding at me. We look over at her and Guillermo. Annie, to her credit, wasn’t lying about trying to get pregnant.

    It’s a little more than a year later that Derek and I walk down the aisle.

    “Thank you.” I take my time to get out of the car, but Derek is fast. He unbuckles Orchid in one swift movement. He hands over the baby and grabs my bag from where he left it next to her. Then, after locking his car, he holds out one hand to me. I’m touched by his sweet gestures today. He must kn

    I’m overthinking this. I don’t even have a ring yet. Hell, I don’t know what kind of ring Esme would even want. Guess Annie and Lily are going to be helping me more than I thought. Hmm. She’s going to be here for at least a day or two. Maybe I’ll wait until she gets home. I pull out my phone to t

    But since then, slowly, new things have been added. I have a hung picture of Me, Lily, and Annie, which used to be followed by all three couples together. I took that picture down quickly when the divorce shit started. I have included a beautiful close-up capture of Sammy the cat lying out in

    Derek has put me on immediate time off, a paid vacation for the rest of the week. “No way are you coming back here before I make sure Ken gets fired and I sue Max for their bullshit.” I tried to argue with him when he was leaving my apartment the other day. But he’s been adamant and un
