Lucy called Benson thirty minutes after Anthony left.

She called once, he didn't respond. But when she tried the second time, he picked up.

“Hey Darling. Benson said. “How are you?”

“I'm good. How's your day going?” Lucy asked.

“Pretty hectic. But it's alright.” He said.

“Anthony came to see me.” Lucy said. Her voice was warm and filled with relief.

“I know.” Benson said.

“What did you say to him?” She asked.

    “What?” Thompson's voice in his head shouting. His children, unknown to them.“Can he come in for a while to join us for ice cream?” Mariah turned to ask Anthony, while she raised the bag holding it.Mariah's words broke into Thompson's thoughts unaware. “Sure. Why not? I mean if he wants to.” Anthony said.They both looked at him, while he looked back at them. He hesitated for a moment.“Yeah,” Thompson said, clearing his throat. “I'd love to. Thanks.” The trio walked into the house, while Mariah quickly set the table for three persons.While they sat to eat ice cream. Anthony asked him. “What brought you to Portland?”Thompson didn't answer immediately, he swallowed before he responded.“Family and some few friends of mine.” He said, he didn't want to lie but just make it not too obvious about something.“So you've found them?” Mariah asked. She remembered he said something like that when they met.“Well, not all of them yet. Still trying to make up for old times' sake.” Thompson

    Thompson sat in his hotel room, taking breakfast while thinking about what happened about two days ago.He had never been the same since he got to talk with her face to face.He felt really bad for hurting her twenty two years ago and showing up just like that unannounced wasn't acceptable.He held the spoon so tight like it would snap like a twig, he inhaled and exhaled slowly, with his eyes closed.His mind still replayed how Lucy looked when she saw him. Shocked, unexpected and angry.But the least person he never expected to see was Benson.He knew back then that Benson was interested in Lucy but she didn't know and he couldn't tell her.Now they stood together at her apartment, the way he held her comforting her, the way he mentioned her name.Those thoughts burned in Thompson's mind. Lucy was the woman he loved and he still loves.“Why did I do something so foolish back then?” He asked himself, with the question left unanswered.Thompson slowly opened his eyes, when he heard a s

    The airport was so busy on Friday morning with a lot of people who wanted to travel and some people returning.Mariah had come early to spend time with Sergio a bit before boarding.She had found him at the check in area with one large suitcase and a carry on bag.“Hi. Sergio.” Mariah said, smiling and waving at him from a little distance.Sergio turned when he heard his name, left the check in area and moved towards her.“Hi. You're early.” He said, when he got closer to her.“So are you.” She said.Sergio smiled. “I didn't want to rush.”Mariah smiled back. “I know, neither do I.”They both smiled at each other, and walked towards the departure area, and sat right after he had checked his bag.Mariah could tell Sergio's expression that he was nervous and excited in equal measure.They talked more about the things he would do when he gets to Edinburgh and about how nervous he is, because it's his first time traveling over there.At some point they sat quiet and just stared around, wa

    The doctor's voice was very calm and gentle when he was delivering the news, holding a death certificate.“I'm so sorry to break it to you Mrs Marcus, we did everything we could.”Those words hit Angela so hard.She lay on the hospital bed, tears flowed down both sides of her face, she couldn't hold them anymore.She didn't shout, nor scream when she heard the news.Because this was the fifth time…fifth child.Still none of them survived at birth.

    The next morning…Angela waited until Marcus left for work before she called Mark.She had been waiting to hear from Mark about the urgent visa for days. But he hadn't said anything about it.Angela was pacing in the living room. She picked up her phone, stared at it and dropped it. She continued pacing up and down the living room. She was scared about another disappointment just like the one she got from Sergio.She picked up her phone and dialed Mark’s number, it rang once and he picked it up.“Hey. Angi baby.” Mark said, sounding flirty on the phone.“Hi Mark.” She said.“Just that? No, Good morning I miss you. Nothing.” Mark said.“This is not the right time Mark. I need to know what's going on with the visa process.” Angela said, her tone firm and angry.“Angela. I told you to relax.

    Marcus woke up in middle of the night on Thursday. He couldn't sleep, he was thinking critically.He turned to look at Angela who was fast asleep beside him, or so he thought.Her face looked so pretty and angelic, she had been his wife for over twenty years. But for sometime now, she act different. Like someone he could no longer recognize.He stood up from his bed slowly, climbed downstairs silently and walked into the kitchen.He turned on the light, made coffee, pulled a stool from underneath the table and sat down.He stared at the coffee steam evaporating and it made his mind return back to its state of thoughts.For days Marcus hadn't been able to think straight because of what he had heard his wife and Sarah say, it sounded unbelievable.“Find a way on our own to get her out of the country…it's a surprise plan for Mariah’s birthday party.”Of course, his daughter's birthday is approaching but the other part sounds wrong.Angela wants to go against his orders of wanting to sen
