Theon " I can't believe she did that! " Lara exclaimed when I told her that Callie had introduced Harper to Samantha without my knowing. We were having a relative heat wave for that time of year, and the streets were full of people enjoying the morning of mild sunshine and temperatures bordering on 77 degrees. Lara took the opportunity to walk with Daphne, and I met them both near the store as I left for lunch. Ever since I found out about what Callie had done, I had avoided going to my mother's house. I still wasn't sure that I could talk to my sister without saying things that I would regret later, and really offend her this time, so I preferred to keep my distance. " She did," I said dismayed, "in the end it wasn't so bad, since thanks to that Harper and I got along, but Samantha didn't have to go through something like that.” " And have you talked to Callie yet? " she asked. " If I talk to her now, our conversation won't be civilized at all," I admitted, "Mama is insisting t

Theon It didn't take long before we crossed the Vail limits and arrived at the clinic.Samantha went to fill out her chart, while I went to get juice from a vending machine for her. When I returned, I found her sitting on one of the chairs in the waiting room, I sat next to her, observing some people waiting for their exams. " Thank you," Samantha smiled, opening the bottle I offered her. " How long are you expecting? " asked a woman. " Twelve weeks " Samantha clarified. " Is this your first child? " Another woman, who was accompanied by her husband, spoke up. " Yes," I confirmed, feeling a little uncomfortable. I wouldn't want to talk about our situation with random people, especially people I had never seen before in my life. " This is our third child," the second woman explained, "you're really going to love it. It's the best thing in the world, I don't have a single complaint about motherhood.” " Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see," Samantha answered politely.

Theon Harper and I were walking together through the streets of Aspen, it was Halloween week, and the town was filled with decorations, from the funniest to the ones that were really intended to be scary. " Look at the pumpkin patch in front of the Dwayne house," Harper pointed ecstatically, wrapping her arm around me and drawing her body closer to mine. The temperature had dropped a lot in the last two weeks, getting closer to zero degrees every day, and soon we would have snow in Aspen. " Let's get you some hot chocolate," I suggested as I pulled away from her and put my arm around her. Harper and I had managed to find a balance in our relationship; despite all the complexity surrounding my situation with Sam, we had overcome any problems that had arisen in the beginning. " You're spoiling me, Theon," she smiled. Yes, she was right, in the last few days I had been doing everything to please her, and I believe she deserved every single one of those treats. We walked over to a

I absorbed the words of Delphine and continued walking absentmindedly, until I bumped into a strong body." Sorry " I asked without bothering to see who I bumped into." Samantha? " A male voice caught my attention. Mike smiled broadly when he saw me. " Mike, hi," I didn't hesitate to smile back.Once again I was taken by his handsome face and the penetrating eyes he displayed. Mike attracted me as soon as we met, he was the kind of guy I would get involved with in a bar. And I would get pregnant for it, my conscience screamed." I was going to call you today, how is the pancake?”" The pancake? He wants to sleep in bed with me! If I lock him out of the room, he won't stop crying," I joked." I can't blame him for that," he winked at me.My heart didn't race, as it did when I was with Theon, but it was nice to have his attention." Have I become invisible to you, Laffay? " Delphine broke our flirtation, making me blush.Okay, he's not Theon, but it was enough to make me forg

SamanthaDespite the troubled start, the rest of the dinner was pleasant. To my surprise, Mike was sympathetic after understanding the whole situation that I was in. He became a little more open after confirming that there was no romantic relationship between Theon and me.We didn't see time passing, and before we knew it, we were walking side by side, watching the starry Aspen sky as he walked me home, making small talk." So, you are preparing the girls for the Thanksgiving presentation," he began, with both hands in his coat pockets." Yes, I'm working hard on it, but they'll do fine," I assured him, feeling the cool breeze hitting my face." I wish I could watch.”Mike had told me that he was traveling to Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with his family, so he would not be able to attend the children's performance at the theater in town." Well, there will always be other performances," I assured him watching my house pop up as we turned the corner, "that's where I live.”" Okay
