Chapter 101

MaxSince the gala last week Ellie has been distant. Though I wouldn’t say she is being cold, our interactions feel surface level. She rarely says more than a sentence or two. We still sleep in the same bed, she cuddles and kisses me like nothing happened, yet when I try to talk with her it doesn’t feel like I’m talking to my Ellie.When I get home from work Ellie is cooking dinner, “How was your day, Max?” I go to grab her for a kiss, but she steps away, “The food is almost ready if you want to change.”“How long will it be like this?” I asked.“Like what?” Ellie replied, not even sparing me a glance. She just mixes the food.“You’re avoiding me.”Ellie still hasn’t looked at me, “I need to pay attention so I don’t burn the food.”“You have avoided me since the gala. You’re distant, you reject all my advances. Yet when I ask why you’re upset, I’m met with, “I’m fine.” Tell me what I did.”“I’m not mad,” she responds while plating our food. When she done, she turns to me and gives me

It is early on a Saturday morning, Max and I are laying in bed when his phone buzzes. He groggily checks it. He quickly sits up. Seeing his reaction, I sit up too. “What’s wrong?” I asked.“My results are in,” he says softly. “I just got the notification my file was updated.”“What are the results?” I asked. I can see Max’s hand shaking. “Do you want me to look?” I slowly take the phone from Max.As I open the tab, he stops me. “What if it didn’t work?” Max questioned, his voice full of uncertainty.“Then you won’t need to wear a condom anymore,” I tell him. “Whatever happens, we are in this together.”Max nods. I open the results and read them. His count is above 15 million per milliliter. I look at Max, “You have to keep wearing condoms.”Max lets out a shaky breath and grabs his phone. He looks at me with a huge smile, “Thank you. If you weren’t here to take such good care of me…”“Max, you followed the doctor’s orders. It had nothing to do with me.”“You bathed me, kept up with my

Chapter 103

Max and I drop Kelsey and Kaylee off at their house. On the drive I tell him, “She gave me a letter.”Max’s hands tighten on the stirring wheel, “What does it say?”“I haven’t read it yet,” I say with a shrug.“Are you planning on reading it?” Max asked.“I don’t know. What would you do?”Max has a slight smile, “I don’t know. My mom abandoned me because she died.”I laugh, “Your humor is so dark.”“Do you want me to read it first?” he asked as we pull into the car park. We get out the car, “Like you did with my results. I can read them and tell you if there is anything important or throw it away. That way you don’t need to worry about what she says.”“That’s not a bad idea,” I say while taking his hand.Max squeezes my hand. “She violated the restraining order, I can have her arrested if you want.”“No, it’s over. I don’t want to worry about her anymore.” I tell him.We get into the apartment and Max says gently, “Give me the letter.”I hand it to him, “I want you to tell me why you l

Chapter 104

MaxEllie picked up her nieces from school today and everyday the past two weeks.. She has left a couple hours early at work, but she makes them up by coming in early. Ellie makes them dinner, helps with sight words, and gives them a bath. James picks them up when he gets off work. Tonight after Kelsey and Kaylee leave, I sit down on the couch and wait for Ellie. She took Kelsey and Kaylee downstairs to meet James. When Ellie arrives back upstairs, I notice how exhausted she look. “El, are you alright?” I asked as she sits next to me. She nods, but doesn’t say anything. I pull her into my lap. She willingly lays against me with her head on my chest.“Candice was with James. He said he was just giving her a ride home from work, but that is why he didn’t come to the door.” Ellie’s voice is small as she speaks. “She didn’t speak to me though. I just hugged the twins, told them goodbye and came back. But just seeing her is emotionally draining.”“I’m throwing her in jail. She shouldn’t ha

Chapter 105

Max and I pull up to the estate. There is a large gate. Max hits a button, and the gate slowly opens. “When we hire security, there will be someone to man the gate in the guard shack.”“Do you think we need all of that?” I asked.Max shifts uncomfortably, “I never understood why my dad changed so much after my mom and sister died. He never remarried or even dated anyone. I always wondered why he became so detached from the world. Then you were threatened, and I couldn’t imagine living my life without you in the world.”We drive through the gate. “That’s why you didn’t care if I was angry about you meeting Candice.”“I didn’t want you to be angry. I want you to be happy. But that is a want. What I need is for you to be alive and safe, even if it isn’t with me. Just knowing you are in the world, knowing someone like you exists, is enough.” Max’s words cause a warmth to spread through me. I place my hand on his leg. Max puts his hand on top of mine.I find myself staring at him. How did
