The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter 33
CharlieMy breath still tasted of alcohol and her, and did I regret it? No, but that did not mean I had let anything go either.I was already dressed by the time Serena stirred, pulling the sheets up around herself with the slow, satisfied movements of a woman who had decided last night had reset something between us. I buttoned my shirt in front of the mirror and watched her reflection without turning around, watched her stretch and blink and find me with her eyes, and I said nothing."Good morning," she offered, carrying her voice in that particular softness she only used after nights like that one."Morning," I replied, reaching for my watch on the dresser.She sat up slowly. "Are you going into the office?""No," I told her, clipping my watch on, "working from home today."Something moved across her face, something that looked like relief, and I turned away from the mirror before she could attach any meaning to the fact that I was staying.She was in the kitchen when I came downs

EvelynI had woken up to see Julian sitting by Leo's side, his hand enclosed around Leo's own little hands, his other hand brushing slowly through his hair.I stayed in the doorway and watched him for a moment, this man who had driven back in the middle of everything just to sit beside my son, and something in my chest cracked open quietly.The night had been long and mostly sleepless.Leo had stirred sometime around two, pulling at my hand. "Mama, I need water.""Alright dear," I had murmured, untangling myself from the chair beside his bed, pouring a cup from the jug on the bedside table and helping him drink it slowly before he drifted back under.I had tried Julian again at three, sitting in the corridor outside Leo's room with the phone pressed to my ear and the hospital quietly pressing in around me."Julian please pick up," I whispered into the voicemail, "Leo needs you, I need you, please just pick up."But there was nothing.I had tried twice more before the sky began to ligh

CharlieI saw the way they were looking at me, they had heard everything, every single word.I walked through the office doors at eight sharp and knew within thirty seconds that something had shifted overnight. The receptionist smiled two seconds too late. The two analysts near the water cooler stopped talking the moment I rounded the corner. Davies found something urgent to look at on his phone the moment our eyes met across the floor.I kept walking.My secretary was already at her desk when I reached my office and she looked up with the specific brightness of someone who had been rehearsing normally all morning."Good morning Mr. Thorne, your nine o'clock has confirmed and…""Has anyone said anything," I asked her directly.She blinked. "Sir?""To you, about me, about last night, has anyone in this building said anything to you."She held my gaze for exactly one second too long. "Not to me directly sir, no."I walked into my office and closed the door.I sat at my desk and stared a

EvelynI waited for his call but nothing came, usually he would get mad and we would solve it but I did not know what had happened now.Amanda appeared in my study doorway carrying a tray, setting it on the edge of my desk with the quiet efficiency she always brought to everything."Ma'am, you have not eaten since morning," she told me gently, lifting the cover off the plate.I looked at it. "What is this?""Grilled salmon with roasted vegetables, your favorite ma…""Take it away," I told her, turning back to my screen.Amanda hesitated. "Ma'am you really should…""Amanda," I replied, and she picked up the tray and left without another word.I stared at my screen and told myself to focus.Leo appeared in the doorway ten minutes later, his football was tucked under one arm, his expression carried the specific disappointment of a child whose afternoon had not gone according to plan."Mama, where did uncle Julian go," he asked, "I have been looking everywhere for him, we were supposed to

CharlieSerena had gotten into trouble again. I could sense it from the number calling my phone. This time I was sure she went directly for the fish and got hooked by it.My phone kept ringing as I sat in my car staring at the car park wall outside my office building. I picked it up without checking the screen."Am I speaking with Mr. Charles Thorne?" the voice on the other end asked."Speaking," I replied."Mr. Thorne, this is Officer Daniels from the fourth precinct, we have your wife here at the station, she was brought in approximately forty minutes ago and she has listed you as her emergency contact."I said nothing for a full three seconds."Mr. Thorne, are you there?""I am here," I replied, "I will be there shortly."I ended the call and sat there gripping the phone in my hand."Why can she not stay out of trouble?" I muttered to the steering wheel, "why, why can she not for one single day just stay out of it, what the hell has she done now."I started the engine and pulled o

EvelynJulian had refused to say anything to me after last night, I very well understood his anger but he was still quiet until now, it was just absurd.I had woken up expecting him to be at the breakfast table the way he always was, coffee in hand, something dry and clever waiting on his lips, but his seat was empty and his coffee cup was clean and dry in the cabinet. The house had that particular quality of quiet that meant he had left early enough to avoid the possibility of running into me.I sat at the table alone and looked at his empty chair.Fine, I thought, let him be dramatic about it.Amanda appeared in the doorway with Leo on her hip, already dressed and clutching his SpiderMan toy. "Good morning ma'am, shall I get Leo's breakfast started?""Please," I replied, reaching up to kiss Leo's cheek as Amanda carried him past."Morning mama," Leo murmured sleepily, dropping his head on Amanda's shoulder.I watched them disappear into the kitchen and turned back to my coffee and t
