Well, Mo did as I said and sent me a voice note immediately after she finished meeting up with Mason. I had instructed her to do so when she told me they would be meeting to talk things over with.
When it finally came, it was only eleven words.
“I chose me, this time. It felt really good being different.”
I smiled, still holding my phone, happy that she was able to meet him and talk. She needed it for her mental health, to remain sane.
I whispered to no one but myself.“You deserve to have a peaceful sleep, nothing should deprive you of that girl."
She was finally standing strong.
But tonight…, I need to forget about everything and relax, I got to feel very soft.

I realized that the vineyard Logan rented for our evening together was located near a hill side. It was very quiet like a graveyard, whLeigh’s POVIt all started with taking my favorite pasta.That was too harsh to start, considering how much I love pasta.And to think this particular bowl was way different? A whole combination of spaghetti diavola, everything was in extra, including the spices and cheese, then properly extra spice, garnished with betrayal.It hasn't settled properly after the proposal and the drama that followed it. We flew to the villa where we had our time alone which was heaven. Our engagement, though we didn't prepare for all we encountered, still had the most memorable sparkles in it. And Logan, successfully taking after Mo in drama, decided to celebrate, and he termed it, “our magical return to normalcy” and ensured the dinner was outside, at our favorite restaurant, far away from drama.Well, the normal we were celebrating and the drama we were all running away from actually traced us down to the restaurant.I was
Leigh’s POVShe just showed up like a timed bomb without warning.She didn't come with any security as usual.I was even shocked, she didn't attempt pulling any dramatic entrance.It was just her, standing alone by herself at the iron gate of the villa. It was more like a hidden and forgotten memory I didn’t invite, but all the same, I can't still ignore it totally.That was no other but Logan’s mother.Her hair was properly pinned, not like one that suggests she came loaded with trouble. No, she wore the aura of calmness. On her eyes were black sunglasses and a matching silk scarf properly placed around her neck. Her looks could be compared to the final chapter of a woman who in her quest to be seen, had loved fiercely, but still lost quietly, and seeing she couldn't do anything to atone for her mistakes, she devoted a greater part of her life regretting the things she should have said, but didn’t say in
Kira’s POVI wasn’t even sure if I was taking the right step or if the therapy I eventually considered would fix anything or make it worse.I mean, how possible is it for someone to sit quietly across a stranger and one with perfectly carved eyebrows and randomly tell them, “Hi, I accidentally out of lust and youthful exploration, got pregnant by my friend’s long-time boyfriend, and that resulted to ghosting my dreams, and right now, my greatest fear lies on baby strollers and worst of all, microwave popcorn”?But I was not just trying, I was doing my best.I am trying so hard to live, not just for myself, but for the tiny human that's growing inside me, and I wouldn't want him to experience hardship right from the womb, but he deserves a better version of me.So I decided to do everything that would give my child the best, so I showed up.I didn't leave my hair messy; no, I left it in a ponytail. I al

Mo’s POVLet me be truthful and honest to myself, and for the sake of those around for one hot second...I didn’t cry as I should the moment I found out things that have been happening behind my back about Mason and Kira. I was too calm for such occasion.I did not only smiled, I also cracked meaningless jokes. I even made sassy group chat, leaving behind annoying comments like, “At least, I don't have to live with the burden of my uterus coming with a betrayal clause.” They stared weirdly at me the second I toasted with Leigh. I prepared the most pain soothing ginger tea for Kira, and through out the period, the thought of spiking emotional poison never crossed my mind.I did all, even more than I mentioned.Until I couldn’t bear them anymore.It started the moment I decided to enter my bathroom to have a warm shower, maybe that would erase every trace of her visit. I concentrated in
Leigh’s POVI couldn't sleep after my chat with Mo. Not even a bit. It wasn't because Logan's was all over me, no, he really did his best to allow me rest after a stressful day at the garden. Typical Logan would ensure he drill me till daybreak, not that I don't like it .I mean he really outdid himself. From back rubs, to making me hot tea, and providing his bare chest as my pillow. He ensured he constantly whispered sweet nothings to my ears. They were a little low dangerous and at same time adventurous for a young lady still trying to figure out what transpired at her proposal.Yes. You got it right. The main reason I didn't give my eyes to sleep was because one name remained in my mind till daybreak. And that was Kira.She would be here any moment. Would definitely arrive in the morning.And this time, it wasn't just to say a friendly “hey girls, let’s meet somewhere cool and chill”
