After returning home from our overnight Sacramento trip, my days over the next two weeks were overtaken by business meetings, drawing up new contracts, and boatloads of paperwork. Kyle was keeping in regular contact with me, seeing how I was fairing without him and answering any questions that had come up.

Jason spent his days at the office on Lakeview Avenue and his evenings with me. Whether we snuggled on the couch and watched a movie on TV or I made him another god-awful dinner that he’d manage to choke down, I loved spending every spare minute with him.

He stayed over most nights and would kiss me good-bye when he had to leave in the morning. Then, he would rant while heading out the door, saying I needed to finish up my to-do list so that I could return to work with him because he wanted to kiss me throughout the day. As appealing as that sounded, I was pretty sure we’d end up accomplishing absolutely nothing all day, and then we’d both be jobless.

In the evenings, Pearl would also come over to my condo, and of course, Jason and I kept our actions kid-friendly in her presence. Her visits seemed to be growing more frequent as Diane’s own agenda appeared to be never-ending, but I didn’t mind in the slightest. I adored Pearl’s company, and I loved helping her with her homework. Jason even volunteered to help Pearl out with her math worksheets when she’d said my explanation didn’t make sense. Watching the two of them interact always sent my heart soaring every time.

On the nights Pearl stayed late, Jason or I would walk her home, so she wasn’t out alone in the dark. We lived in a safe neighborhood, but I still could not bear the thought of her walking outside so late by herself. I would never forgive myself if something were to happen to her.

I had even triple-checked with Diane to make sure Pearl’s frequent visits were still okay with her, and Diane had reassured me that I had her permission. She’d even admitted that she was happy Pearl had company. I’d thought her response was anything but normal.

My concerns for the little girl continued to grow. However, I had no idea how to go about intruding into her personal life. I did not want to further complicate Pearl’s circumstances. At the same time, I was beyond frustrated and growing impatient with the whole situation.
