Episode 21

Kristen’s [POV]There were still a few tears glistening on his eyelashes. He was a beautiful man, and there was something intensely attractive about how vulnerable he was allowing himself to be in front of me. All I wanted to do was make him feel better. All I wanted to do was soothe him, body and soul.Even his apology cut through me. I could tell he was sincere, and I could tell it was the broken man inside of him that had caused him to lash out and turn away from me. Hurt as I had been, I could understand where that had come from now, and I forgave him readily.I stared at his perfect blue eyes, hollowed in with emotion. He was trying to sort out all the complicated feelings he had been avoiding all this time, and I could imagine how hard that was. A part of me knew that getting deeper into this with Jake was just leading up to heartbreak in the future, but how could I turn away from him now? Maybe this was the reason I had moved here to San Diego. Maybe I had come here to save Jak

Episode 22

Jake’s [POV] Déjà vu. That’s what it felt like as I turned underneath my warm sheets as little rays of sunlight peeping through the cracks in the blinds. I was still groggy, just coming out of a heavy sleep, but I couldn’t bring myself to think because there was this feeling that engulfed me. Everything was perfect. I could feel the blissful contentment that came with knowing everything in your world was in perfect order. I could feel her next to me, and the feel of her body curved in next to mine was heaven. We didn’t have any place to be because this was our honeymoon and neither one of us had to report anywhere. We were back home, and even though it was only for a week, it was enough. I would wrap my arms around her and kiss her awake. She would turn in my arms and laugh, and then we would wrestle and play until our play turned into lovemaking that finished with

Episode 23

Kristen’s [POV] I sighed with relief as I entered my shoebox apartment. It was nice to be back home after a long day of work. I hadn't seen Jake very much over the last few days because he was busy ferrying Noah around, having yet to find the right babysitter. So, he was mostly just working from home. I got about fourteen emails from him daily, but they were always polite and strictly professional. It wasn't like he was ignoring the fact that we had slept together, however. He generally called me in the evenings once he had put Noah to bed. It was always a five-minute conversation about general things, but I knew the real purpose was to show me he wasn't turning back into a jackass. I appreciated the effort I knew how difficult it must have been for him to juggle work and fatherhood. To help him, I had done some research during my lunch break and put together a list of babysitters in the area

Episode 24

Jake’s [POV] I felt like a teenager again. I'd forgotten the strange and juvenile impulses that came with being a young adolescent and discovering that your body had urges and desires you couldn't always control. But it was more than just desire. It was the increased pulse every time she walked past. It was the way I looked up excitedly when she walked into the room. It was the way my mind landed on her every time I had a moment to myself. The first few days after we'd slept together, I had been scrambling around trying to find someone competent to replace Janet. Kristen had picked up a lot of the slack for me when I worked from home. Thankfully, a few days ago, she sent me this list with contact numbers of all the best babysitters and nannies in San Diego. It had been an extensive list with details about every person on it. It had taken me eleven meetings and three-second interviews, but I'd finally found someon

Episode 25

Kristen’s [POV] I could almost feel the burn in my lungs as I pushed myself to keep running for another minute and thirty-four seconds. My legs were aching, and I could feel my willpower slipping, but I gritted my teeth together and forced myself to keep going. The moment I reached fifteen minutes, I reduced the treadmill speed until I was at a walking pace and panted with exhaustion. "You are insane," Melody announced, shaking her head at me. I didn't answer her right away. I waited till I could talk without huffing out my words and then I spoke. "It's exhilarating...at least when you've finished." "You ran for fifteen straight minutes." "That's the point, to train your body to keep at it for longer periods," I said. "When I first started, I could only run at that speed for four minutes; I kid you not." "Fuck," Melod

Episode 26

Jake’s [POV] "When's my next appointment?" I asked. "An hour from now," Kristen replied. "It's only two blocks away, so you still have a while left." "Right," I nodded. "Thank you, Kristen." "Of course, sir," she nodded. There were two other people from the department in my office today, Matt and Samantha who were coordinating a few things with me. Because of their presence, Kristen and I were forced to maintain an air of stiff professionalism and formality. She had seamlessly fallen into calling me sir again, and I had changed my tone to one of impersonal indifference.It was harder than I expected to look at Kristen without smiling and to keep my eyes from wandering to her even in small, quiet moments. She was wearing a white dress with a high collar. Her auburn hair was turned up into a tight knot at the back of her head, and her hazel eyes looked particularly bright this

Episode 27

Kristen's [POV] Once I'd finished sorting through the ledgers, I closed my laptop and went to check on Noah. He was still sleeping soundly, so I shut the door quietly and went back to the living room. Daphne's picture was directly facing me, and again, I felt as though her eyes were following me around the room. It was sad to think we'd missed out on a potentially great relationship, but Daphne hadn't been ready, and I had been forced to accept that. I remembered the morning we had met for the first time. And just like that, I was back in Michigan. I was sixteen again. I was standing in front of the sister that I'd always wished for. We had agreed to meet in the park by the water fountain. I had spent an hour trying to figure out what to wear. Ultimately, I decided on jeans and a thin blue sweater that was simple and practical. Then I'd showed up by the water fountain, forty minutes early and so nervous I felt as though my stomach

Episode 28

Jake’s [POV] The Caveman Bar was a quiet little pub nestled in one corner of the city. It was sort of a hidden gem, and I loved going there because it was rarely crowded. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, the booze was good, and the music was low enough that you could hold a conversation. I went ahead and ordered two beers for myself and Luis. He showed up ten minutes late, wearing a dark t-shirt and jeans. The light reflected off his bald head, making it gleam. He sat down next to me and grabbed the beer that had just arrived. "Cheers," he said after he had chugged down nearly half the glass. "I think you need to do that first," I said, smirking at him. Luis smiled. "How've you been?" "Good." "Yeah, I was just about to say, you look good," he said, observing me with a keen eye. "There's

Episode 29

Kristen’s [POV] “I think he’s out for the count,” I said, pushing back a few stray hairs that had fallen onto Noah’s forehead. He was sprawled out on the living room sofa, his legs flung about in strange directions, and yet, he looked so peaceful and happy. His chest rose and fell in little spurts, and there was a faint smile on his mouth. The living room carpet was a mess of crayons, coloring books, blocks, and toys, and Jake had to tread carefully to get to us. “It’s about time,” he sighed. I smiled. “I know. I was getting tired.” “Getting tired?” he asked. “I passed tired ab out two hours ago.” “Reckon we should get him into his bed?” Jake nodded and picked Noah up gently s

Episode 30

Jake’s [POV] As I walked into my office, I noticed that Kristen wasn’t at her desk. I felt a little note of disappointment and realized how much I’d been looking forward to seeing her all morning. I hadn’t been able to come to work first thing because I had meetings across town. In the last few weeks, Kristen and I had been spending a huge amount of time together. We had frowned exceptionally close, and I was feeling all the familiar tingles of love beginning to blossom within me. And there was something else, too…something that felt a lot like relief. Was it possible that Kristen was the one who could mend my broken heart and change me for the better? I was starting to think that it was possible. I refrained from calling to check where she was and headed into my office. I sat down at my desk and poured myself a glass of water. We had spoken a lot over the last c
