The roses were on my desk again, yellow, same as before. And next to them, a white teddy bear with a red ribbon around its neck.

I stopped in the doorway.

Maya was already at her desk, watching me. "He dropped them off himself this morning, said it belonged to you."

I walked in slowly. My hand moved through the bear's ear. Soft and small. I thought about Noah, about the bear on his bed, about how David bought this without knowing anything about his son.

I picked up the bear and held it close to

    "Come in." His voice came out sharp from within.I opened the door. He was standing at the window with his back to me, hands in his pockets. Blue shirt sleeves rolled up.He turned around."You've been avoiding me," he said."We… we've been busy.""Lydia, that's a lie." He said, tracing a line on the table with his fingers and then back at me.I met his eyes. "What do you want, David?"He walked toward me, slowly, and stopped a few feet away."I want to know why you kissed me back. When I kissed you, why didn't you pull away immediately?"My chest tightened. "It was a mistake.""Was it?" He lifted his eyebrow."Yes." I swallowed.He looked at me for a long moment. His eyes moved over my face like he was looking for the truth.He got nothing on me."Okay," he said. "If that's what you need to tell yourself."He walked back to his desk and sat down."I need you focused on the project," he said. "No more hiding in the east conference room. No more junior associates. I need you in the roo

    I couldn't move. The phone was still in my hand, the screen was still lit. The words still sitting in my chest.“I am watching you, Lydia. I will be your worst nightmare, say hello to little David for me”.“I read it again, my thumb hovered over the keyboard. I wanted to type something back. Who is this? What do you want? How do you know his name?I couldn’t type anything.I got up. My legs carried me down the hall, Noah's door was open. I stood in the doorway and watched him sleep. He was on his stomach, one arm under the pillow, his mouth slightly open. He was fine, safe and breathing.Sandra was asleep in the guest room down the hall. Everything seemed fine, but nothing was fine. I went back to my room and sat on the edge of the bed. The phone was still in my hand. I called Ethan.He picked up on the second ring, not groggy, like he hadn't been sleeping."I got a message," I said."From who?" His voice dragged."I don't know, an unknown number.""What did it say?"I read it to him,

    I coughed. The drink went down the wrong way. Ethan reached across the table and pulled the glass away from me."You okay?"I waved him off, my hand on my chest, still coughing. My eyes were watering and red. I wiped them with the back of my hand and took a breath."I'm sorry about that," I said with a shaky voice. "The question caught me off guard." I wiped my eyes again."I apologize. I didn't mean for that to happen." He set the glass further from my reach. "Do you want water?""I want you to stop interrogating me. We came here for dinner, right? I don't have answers to them."He leaned back. "Then tell me what you do have answers to."I looked at him. The restaurant was warm with low lights. A table near the back where no one could hear us."Why are you asking me this now?" I said."Because you kissed me." Ethan kept his gaze on mine."You liked it, so why are you asking.""I did. No lies." He didn't blink. "But that's not the point."I stared at him. "Then what is the point, Etha

Then I carried it to the corner where the yellow roses were and set it down beside them. Roses on one side, bear on the other.Maya followed me with a cup of coffee and set it on the desk. Then she closed the door and sat down without being asked.I looked at her. "I know you. Don't bother.""I haven't said anything." I chuckled."You were about to.""I was going to ask if you wanted sugar." Maya picked up the cup and handed it to me. "But you don't take sugar."I chuckled.Maya

    I drove in with my hand still on my cheek, the impact of that hit still sitting on my face, my mouth trying to find its balance. I got home. The lights were on. Nina was standing in the living room with her arms crossed, standing like she had been there for hours.She turned her phone around."I need an explanation," she yelled, pointing out the photo of me and Lydia kissing on the pavement. It was as clear as day.I looked at it then back at her. "You keeping tabs on me now?"Nina's face went red. She pushed the phone closer, her hand was shaking."Don't do that, don't you dare turn this around." Her voice cracked. "You kissed her, right outside your building. In front of God knows who saw. Why the fuck did you kiss her, David?""I don't owe you an explanation." I looked straight into her eyes, with my hands massaging my jaw.She grabbed and pulled me close, pressing her lips forcefully on mine. I pushed her away."What the hell is wrong with you?" I said, wiping her craziness from m

    LYDIA'S POV"That's enough for tonight," David said, closing his folder. "We pick up again at eight."Chairs pushed back, laptops closed, people gathered their things. The conference room emptied out around us. Marcus was the last to leave, his eyes moving between David and me before he pulled the door shut.I packed my bag and checked my phone. Ethan had sent a text twenty minutes ago. "Hey Lydia, I am sorry I won't be picking you up, something came up very urgent, I made arrangement for a cab, text back when you get home. Okay?" I put the phone into my bag and then looked up. David was standing in front of me with his hands in his pockets."You ready to leave?" he asked."Yes, thank you." I hurried out of the conference room, going downstairs.The lobby was empty. The security guard at his desk nodded at me. I pushed through the glass doors and stood outside with my bag on my shoulder.The city was still moving, car horns everywhere. I called Sandra."He's asleep, ma'am," she said.
