    AubreyI pull up outside of Everett’s place, where I have been staying for the last couple of nights. He’ll be home late tomorrow. I’m looking forward to seeing him; he knows I am here. To get ready, I want to make sure the place is clean and the fridge is stocked for his return. I’m happy I won’t have to sleep alone tomorrow. Hugo and I talked, and things are okay, but I came here because I’m still a bit mad at him and didn’t want to overstay my welcome. I need to find an apartment soon. Everywhere I’ve seen hasn’t felt right, or Hugo thought it wasn’t secure enough. We have more viewings next week. That’s stressing me out, but right now, that doesn’t matter. The important thing is that Everett will be home. We can reconnect. He’d better not leave for so long again, or I’ll insist on going with him. I don’t mean to be needy—but I can’t

    EverettI wake with a pounding headache, groaning as sunlight slips through the curtains. Last night is a blur—I only remember ordering a drink at the bar. Somehow, I ended up back in my London apartment. Thank God—at least I didn’t do something stupid like cheat on Aubrey. I hope that’s not who I am, no matter how drunk I get. I can’t recall coming home. How did I get here? I search for my cell but can’t find it. Hopefully, I didn’t lose it in my drunken state. I shouldn’t have drunk so much, but it’s how I cope.I get out of bed to search for my cell. Each step makes my head throb, nausea rising. The taste of scotch lingers, churning my stomach. I need my cell—Aubrey has probably tried to reach me, and she'll worry if she can’t. I stroll into the living room and stop on my tracks when I see Hugo sitting on the sofa.“Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be on your way home by now?”Hugo sighs and looks up at me. “I changed it to later today.”"Why? I thought you’d be desperate to g

    AubreySomeone shakes me awake in my sleep, causing me to groan.“Aubrey, please wake up?” I hear Erica ask, and at the sound of her voice, I shoot awake.“Erica, what is wrong? Are you okay? Are the kids and dogs okay?” I ask in a panic.It is the middle of the night. Erica wouldn’t wake me up for no reason.“Yes, they are all fine. Hugo just called, they are both fine too, sort of. Their conversation didn’t go well. Hugo said some things he shouldn’t have, and upset Everett, who left. That was a couple of hours ago, and he can’t get hold of him. You should call Everett and make sure he is okay. He will answer your call,” she sighs.What the hell did Hugo say to him to make him leave and ignore him? I check my cell and notice a text from a couple of hours ago from Everett t

    EverettHugo and I are back at the apartment after a long day of work. We ordered in because we were in no mood to go out or cook, which works because it allows me to talk with him. Things have been hectic since his arrival, so he really hasn’t brought up Aubrey. We have pizza and beers, watching a football match on the TV.“Hugo, we need to talk,” I say, getting straight to the point.He mutes the TV and turns to me. “Yes, we do. I want the truth about you and Aubrey.”There is no point in prolonging it. “Aubrey and I are together. We have been for months.”His brows furrow and his face turns red. “I fucking knew it. What the hell were you thinking? I told you to stay away from her. She is vulnerable, Everett. She doesn’t need another man lying and hurting her. Can you not listen for once in your damn life? If you had any decency, you would end things before she ends up falling, because we both know you don’t do commitment or long-term relationships. You could have any woman you want

    AubreyI am nervous as I wait for Erica to return from dropping the kids off at school. I am going to tell her about Everett and me. He plans on telling Hugo tonight. Hugo left for London yesterday afternoon. Everett didn’t want to tell him the first day he arrived. I am more worried about them than me telling Erica. Hugo is going to act worse than Erica. My gut tells me so.I am sitting out in the yard with my morning coffee. Erica will be here soon. I am staying here for a little while since we haven’t found a new place for me, quite yet. I insisted I would be fine to return the other one, but of course, they never agreed. I sigh, taking a sip of my iced coffee and just as I do, I hear Erica calling out for me.“I am outside,” I call back.Erica appears at the door. “I was going to ask if you wanted a coffee, but I see you have one.” She laughs.“I do.”“Okay. I am going to make one, and then I will come out to join you.”I do some breathing exercises before she comes out to calm my

    EverettThe last couple of days have been hell. I shouldn’t be in London! I should be home with Aubrey after everything that happened, but she told me to stay put. I wasn’t going to listen because I know she needs me, but my return will add to her stress because of Hugo and Erica not knowing. They would know there was something, but by what Aubrey said, Erica would be fine with it. We are still on the fence about Hugo. I don’t want to make things worse for Aubrey.My focus has been nearly nonexistent. My worry levels have been sky-high. Work is the last thing on my mind, but I am stuck here, and I hate it. I have been staying out of everyone’s way because I have been taking my mood out on them, and I don’t want to do that. I can do that, not with this being a new business. We can afford for everyone to quit. I only deal with them if I really need to.All I want is to jump on the next flight, and it is taking everything in me not to do that. Hugo will be here in a couple of days. I kno

    AubreyI am nervous as I drive up the long driveway that leads to Everett’s place. I have barely spoken to him. Once, while he was on his way home, but that has been it. I don’t know how tonight will go, how the conversation will go. I have no idea what mood he is in. He will still be stressed out.

It would make too many questions arise.""True." He sighs.I reach over, kissing him softly. He kisses back, resting his h
