Lydia POV

For a moment I just stood there, staring at my phone, like my body had forgotten what rest even meant. Then I decided I actually needed to slow down, to breathe, to step away from everything that had been happening.

I went into my room with the intention of resting properly, maybe even calling Dr Sana just to schedule a session, not necessarily for therapy in a deep sense, but because I needed clarity. I needed someone to make sense of the noise in my head.

I never even got to makin

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   I was done

    Lydia POVThe moment Dave said he was coming to Country Z tomorrow, the room completely lost whatever little calm I had managed to restore.Ava was practically bouncing on the bed, her hair flying everywhere as she fired questions at him faster than he could answer. Eli had somehow gone from half-asleep to fully awake in less than three seconds, demanding to know what time Dad would arrive, whether he was bringing anything, how long he was staying, and whether they could go somewhere “extremely cool” when he got there.Dave laughed through most of it, trying unsuccessfully to answer both children at once. I watched him, taking in the way his expression softened whenever one of them said his name, the way he leaned closer to the screen as though he could somehow shorten the distance between them by doing so. Whatever else I could say about Dave, I couldn’t deny that the children loved hearing his voice. There was a particular brightness that appeared in their faces whenever he called,

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Surprise

    Lydia POVIt felt like forever before the front door finally opened again.In reality, it had been thirty minutes.Thirty.I knew because Anna had checked the time twice, and because the children had managed to turn those thirty minutes into an entire lifetime of questions, whispered conversations, snacks, and increasingly dramatic theories about why adults took so long to argue and apologize.I was sitting on the edge of the sofa with Eli tucked against my side when the door opened.Theo stepped inside first.He looked exhausted.Not the polished, composed Theo who walked into boardrooms and made executives straighten their backs. This was different. His tie had loosened slightly, his sleeves were rolled up, and there was an unmistakable weariness around his eyes.His gaze found me almost immediately.“Lydia.”I looked up.He took a breath.“I’m so sorry.”I didn’t answer immediately.He glanced toward Eli, then crouched so they were almost eye level.“And for the record,” he said, “

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Not less

    Lydia POVThe word came out before I could stop it.Every child went silent.Even the adults.Miranda looked at me.I could feel my heartbeat pounding against my ribs, each beat pushing another layer of restraint out of the way.“You can talk about me,” I said, my voice low. “You can make assumptions about my marriage. You can make whatever judgments you want about the way I live my life. But you do not get to stand in front of me and question how I raise my children.”“I wasn’t—”“You were.”My voice cracked through the room.“You have known me for less than a day, and somehow you’ve decided you understand my children better than I do.”Miranda opened her mouth.I lifted my hand.“No. Let me finish.”Theo stood.“Lydia—”I shook my head without looking at him.“I would take anything from you, Miranda. I would take every passive-aggressive comment you’ve made since you walked through that door. I would take the comments about the temperature. The air freshener. The food. The sugar. Th

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Indulgence

    Lydia POV He walked into the hallway carrying a little girl in his arms. Miriam. Her small arms were wrapped loosely around his neck, her cheek resting against his shoulder. She was dressed in a little yellow sundress with white sneakers, her dark curls gathered into two tiny puffs. Theo looked completely at ease with her. One hand supported her back while the other carried a small overnight bag. My eyes moved from him… To Anna. Anna smiled. Too innocently. My eyes narrowed. Of course. Of course she did this. I should have known. This was Anna. If there was an opportunity to manufacture an unnecessarily complicated social situation, she would find it, polish it and serve it with brunch. “Hi, Lydia.” Theo smiled. “Hi.” I returned the smile, trying very hard not to look at Anna. She suddenly became extremely interested in her coffee. “You invited them?” I asked. Anna shrugged. “I invited everyone.” “Everyone?” “Yes.” Theo stepped forward. “Sorry.” He adjuste

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   Chaos

    Lydia POV“Mom.”I had barely turned toward the door before Eli’s head appeared from underneath his blanket, his hair pointing in approximately seventeen different directions and his eyes suddenly wide with betrayal.“Don’t call Auntie Anna.”I paused.“You just told me you weren’t going.”“I changed my mind.”“That quickly?”He nodded with the seriousness of a man negotiating an international treaty.“We’re ready.”I folded my arms.“Five seconds ago, you were retired.”“I came out of retirement.”Ava’s voice floated from the bathroom.“He’s lying. He was never retired.”Eli whipped around.“Nobody asked you.”“I heard you.”“That’s not the same thing.”I laughed under my breath as I watched him scramble out of bed and begin searching for the clothes we’d picked out the night before. The sudden transformation was almost impressive. One minute he had been buried beneath his duvet, threatening to resign from childhood because six in the morning was apparently an unreasonable hour for h

  • Too Late To Love Me: I Already Left With His Twins   …is probably correct

    Lydia POV I shook my head. “Whatever you’ve heard…” I reached for my laptop again. “…is probably correct.” Her mouth fell open. “You admitted it?” “I don’t have the energy to argue with you today.” She clapped excitedly. “I knew it!” “I knew something happened.” “Anna.” “Hm?” “I said you were probably right.” “I didn’t say what you were right about.” She blinked. “…Oh.” Then she frowned. “Wait.” “…You’re clever.” “I’ve been trying to tell you that for years.” She pointed at the bouquet still occupying half my desk. “By the way.” I looked down at it. “What?” “You’re welcome.” I smiled softly. “They’re beautiful.” “I know.” “I picked every flower myself.” “You absolutely paid someone to.” “…Details.” I laughed before looking back at the enormous bouquet. “Anna…” “What?” “Are you trying to court me?” She didn’t even hesitate. “I mean…” She tilted her head thoughtfully. “…I’m still deeply in love with my husband.” “Thankfully.” “But…” she grinned

    Bernard stepped in, hands clasped neatly in front of him.“I apologize for disturbing you, ma’am. I came by earlier, but there was no response.”I rubbed my eyes. “I was asleep.”“Yes, ma’am.”He said it so respectfully that I almost felt bad for sounding irritated.Almost.“Would you like dinner?”
