“Alright honey, I’ll give the phone to grandpa now, so don’t be shy to read him the poem you wrote for him,” I told Nellana, while making sure the phone didn’t slip from my fingers. I wouldn’t have drunk that much if I knew the wine was that strong.

I didn’t enjoy wine much, but I guess I got carried away with pushing my feelings aside after my unintentional confession to Ethan. Although we didn’t talk much after that, there wasn’t any air of awkwardness around us. After my walking in on my conversation with Marcel, he just came closer to me and pulled me out while playfully telling his father off for ‘questioning’ me.

I spent most of the day with Stephanie, mostly to avoid Ethan so he wouldn’t have to pretend to be fine with me beside him more times than necessary. Even after all that I still had to stand next to him as we cut the cake and took pictures. His arm was draped around my shoulder the whole time with a huge grin on his face. I almost thought he actually felt at ea

    PatriciaEveryone’s attention switched to Ethan as he rushed over to my side, worry stricken. When he got closer and saw Bryce, his eyes narrowed, sending a silent but strict message. They stood tall at the dame height, but Ethan looked more domineering. Bryce stepped back without a word.Ethan immediately turned to me, looking from my stained blouse to my face. His hand found my cheek and wiped my tears as his attention went back to my chest, his face a mixture of confusion and worry. “What happened, Tricia?”That same moment Betty arrived and instantly began shaking salt onto my skin. She was so focused, that she ignored Ethan’s presence there. “This would reduce the effects of the burn.”“Burn?” Ethan mouthed. Betty looked up at him and blinked. He looked away from her and saw Jessica hyperventilating in a corner then traced the coffee stains to her. No one had to tell him what had happened.

    PatriciaI exhaled, not knowing why she was even questioning me about this. Did she really think that low of me? “I ran into him by chance okay, and we just exchanged pleasantries.”“Pleasantries?” she echoed like I had said the most ridiculous thing. “What exactly did you tell my husband to have him compare you to me?” she asked with so much distaste.Yes, there was no limit to how low she could think of me.“Jessica, I’m not interested in your husband,” I spelled the words out, and it hurt that I even had to tell her in the first place.“Stop lying.” Her voice broke and that’s only when I noticed the tears on her face. Goodness gracious. “You told him something that day and now he wants a divorce.”My eyes grew wide? The sad look on Charles’ face flashed in my mind. Was it that bad he needed a divorce?“We were doing jus

    PatriciaBy the time I was done replying and forwarding emails, half of my break was spent. I was drained both from all the work I had to do this morning, and the internal conflicts that were fighting for space in my head. It had been like this for the past three days and at this point I wasn’t sure I could continue like this. The overthinking had slowed me down, which was why I had to use part of my break to make up for the time lost. Not fun business at all.I closed the browser and left my office for the lounge. Quite a number of people were already there, either sitting by the tv, which was still displaying various advertisements of the companies we worked with, while others were hanging around the food section.I felt entirely inconspicuous, just looking around with no one to talk to. It was slowly dawning on me that I had made a mistake of having a really small circle of friends here- that’s if you even considered Bryce and Jessica a c

    Ethan“All the same, I’m glad we finally closed the deal. The investors were quite difficult to convince.”Daniel’s voice rang in my ears while I swivelled in the chair across him, my mind detached from understanding what he was saying. The last meeting for the day was over and it was only midday. Most of the work for the day was completed leaving me with almost nothing to do and that paved way for arguments to thrive in my head.“Mm.” I barely opened my mouth in response, my eyes focused on the stack of papers neatly arranged on his desk. He had always been this meticulous and responsible, something I admired because I couldn’t match up to him. I wondered how his life would be if he had a wife, or a girlfriend. Would he have everything figured out about his relationship at every point in time?“All thanks to you.”“All thanks to you,” I repeated absentmindedly.&ldqu

    PatriciaI finally got back home at four pm. My hands were full of bags clothing, perfume and obviously romance novels. I liked today. I got to put flowers in Ethan’s hair and I had a nice time with my mum. There was still this nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn’t think too much of it. It was normal to have a bad thoughts when things were good for a long while.When I had sorted my bags, I plopped on my bed and called, my dad.“Hey, sunflower,” he greeted cheerfully.I smiled automatically. “Hey, dad. How are you?”“I’m as happy as I could be with Nelly here. The real question is how are you doing?”“I’m okay.”He was silent for a while before he spoke again. “I won’t press too much on that, since I don’t want to have this conversation over the phone. I’ll give the phone to Nelly now. That’s obviously t

    Patricia“My baby,” my mum gushed, opening her arms wide as she neared me. “You don’t know how glad I am that you’re here.”“Mama,” I matched her energy, falling into her embrace. I mean it was impossible with the way she was so bubbly. It reminded me of when I lived here, never lacking pampering from my mother when I needed it. “I’ve missed you,” I told her, genuinely.She pulled back to look at me. “Me too dear, me too.”I pulled out of her hug before things got too emotional. Not that I didn’t want to bare my feelings out to her, but we were still in the driveway. “Is dad here? And Nelly?” I changed the subject, wondering why Nelly hadn’t run out with mum as she usually did when I came to pick her up during her visits.“Oh, they’re at the office. When your father told her he was meeting with her favourite child author, we co
