The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Making Space
HANNAH'S POV:We were home by six fifteen.The four of us in the kitchen, the twins were still in their competition clothes because neither of them had changed yet and I had not pushed it because there was something I wanted to preserve about the day for a little longer.Jacob called first.He called before we even had our coats off and the conversation was Jacob's way of conversation where he kept saying wait wait wait and making us repeat things he had already heard because he wanted the full version. Cherry was beside him, we could hear her, and she kept asking questions in the background which Jacob relayed with his own commentary attached."She is asking if Amelia cried," he said."I am asking if Amelia performed or if she ascended," Cherry's voice said, clearly having decided to stop letting Jacob relay things."She ascended," I said. "She wrote a monologue and she performed it and the adjudicator said she had rarely seen that level of original writing at this age."Cherry made
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Nothing Wasted
ELIJAH'S POV:The panel chair went through the placings from third upward. Third place was the water filtration project. I watched Andrew register this without any expression on his face. Second place was the light spectrum project. I watched him register this too, still without expression.The results took time. The panel chair went through the categories methodically and there were several before Life Sciences and Andrew waited through all of them without fidgeting.I watched him while he waited. He was watching the panel and reading their faces, not anxiously but with the data-gathering attention he brought to everything. At one point he leaned slightly toward me and said, very quietly, "The grey-haired judge spoke more extensively about the projects she responded to. I counted the questions." I looked at him. "She asked me three questions," he said. "She asked the other projects one or two." He said this without triumph. Just as information."How many questions did the other judge
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Earned
HANNAH'S POV:"No," she said. "Mine are right for my piece. But hers are right for hers. I am just saying it is good. You can appreciate something without wanting it for yourself.""That is a very mature observation," I said."I know," she said, and went back to watching.We sat together in the green room while the remaining performers finished and the audience waited for the results and Amelia was very calm.I sat beside her and I thought about the monologue. About her writing it thinking about Mirada. About a girl finding a photograph of a woman who was a dancer before she was anything else.My mother would never know she had a granddaughter who had written something beautiful about exactly that. But in some way I could not explain properly and did not try to explain to anyone but understood in my own chest, I felt certain she knew anyway.* * * * * * *The results for the junior solo category were announced at half past three.The adjudicator was a small woman with a clear voice wh
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Thinking and Feeling
ELIJAH'S POV:The morning was the set-up and informal viewing period where parents and other students could look at the displays. Andrew stood at his table and answered questions from people who wandered past with the confidence and precision of someone who had answered every version of these questions in his own head already and was not going to be thrown by them in the real world.A girl from another school stopped and read his methodology section carefully."Did you actually collect sleep data from your classmates?" she asked."With their consent and the school nurse's oversight, yes," Andrew said."How many participants?" she asked."Fourteen," he said. "Over three weeks. With a control period and an intervention period where participants received a standardized probiotic supplement for comparison."She stared at him. "How old are you again?""Eight," he said.She stared for another second and then walked away without saying anything else. Andrew watched her go and then looked at

ELIJAH'S POV:In the car on the way to the fair, Andrew was quiet for most of it, which I did not try to fill. He was looking out the window with the expression he had when he was running through things internally, not anxiously, just methodically, the way a pilot might run through a checklist not because they expect problems but because thoroughness is the habit that prevents them.About fifteen minutes in he said, "What if a judge asks me something I have not considered?""Then you tell them you have not considered it yet and you say what you think the answer might be based on what you know," I said. "And you tell them you would want to investigate further before committing to a conclusion."He thought about this. "That is what I told the judge this morning about the limitation of my dataset.""I know," I said. "And it was the right answer.""It felt risky," he said. "Acknowledging what I do not know.""The judges know what you do not know," I said. "Acknowledging it yourself is wha
The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) Two Kinds of Brilliance
HANNAH'S POV:The drama festival was held at the Meridian Arts Centre. The junior solo category was scheduled for early afternoon, which meant we arrived in the morning for warm-up and rehearsal space and Amelia disappeared into the backstage area with the other performers while I found a seat in the third row.Yeah i admit, I have a thing with third rows.The venue filled up. Parents, teachers, adjudicators in the front row with their clipboards and their specific quality of professional attention. The programme ran through the morning categories first and I watched other children perform and thought about what it took to stand on a stage and make people feel something.At one thirty the junior solo category was announced.There were six performers. Amelia was fourth.I watched the first three with genuine attention because they were good, all of them were good, the standard at this festival was notably high and I made a note of this because I wanted to be able to tell Amelia honestl

HANNAH’S POV:FEW HOURS LATER: I stepped into the room with my heart racing after talking to Janet who completely aggrevated me. The heavens know I just wanted to rip her hair out of her head not just because she had shot and traumatized my angels but because even after everything she still had th

HANNAH’S POV:He watched me with that unreadable look…the one that always made my stomach flip.“You don’t have to fuss over me,” he murmured.I looked up. “Elijah, you got shot protecting me. You’re lucky I haven’t wrapped you in bubble wrap.”He chuckled, and then winced again, hand flying instin

HANNAH’S POV:I froze. Of all the things to say, that was the last I expected. A flush rose to my face, and I stared at him like he’d lost his mind. “Elijah, you were shot, and that’s what you’re thinking about?”“Can’t help it,” he whispered, his voice raspy but amused. “Your beauty was the first

3RD POV:That stung and Elijah frowned deeply. “What’s that supposed to mean? Where did that even come from?”Jacob shrugged again, but there was something harsh in his tone now. “Nothing. I’m just saying. maybe don’t read too much into things. People move on. They check up on you because they have
