Chapter Twelve

“Oh, that’s interesting.” Amy’s hand lingered over the mouse as she peered at the laptop screen in front of her. A wide array of shapes and colors played out on the screen, and Amy couldn’t look away until the music went up, and she hastily reached for the mouse. After turning the volume down, she hovered over the “register” option and paused.

Was she being too picky?

Having tried several other hobbies and courses, Amy was no longer sure how she was meant to fill her time. A part of her debated finding a job, if only to fill the hours and get herself used to working again, but the other part of her was reluctant to be tied down. It had been too long since she thought about money and even longer since she held down a job she actually needed.

Volunteering at charities didn’t count.

Out of all of the scenarios she’d played out in her mind as she’d stayed away from Eric, having him threaten to take everything, even the clothes on her back, wasn’t something she’d pictured. It wasn’t even a level she thought Eric would stoop to, yet here they were. It had been days since the disastrous meeting with the lawyers that had gone sideways. Days since she was forced to sit across from Eric while he tore into her, coming up with new and creative ways to make her feel small and insignificant.

Thankfully, Kate hadn’t withered under his intense stare.

If anything, her lawyer had fought back, doing her best to ensure Eric’s lawyer kept him in check.

It had been the longest hour of Amy’s life, and she was still reeling days later.

Had she completely ruined her chances at an amicable divorce by leaving the way she did?

Or was Eric looking for yet another reason to blame her?

She couldn’t tell for certain.

All she knew was that over the past few days, she’d been walking around with knots in her stomach and a headache in the back of her skull that wouldn’t leave her alone. No amount of planning or wishful thinking was going to change her current circumstances. Even reaching out to Lucas and Sylvie hadn’t helped.

The two of them remained as confused as ever, and for the life of her, she couldn’t understand why.

Why couldn’t they understand how much she needed them?

They were still playing catch-up, and Amy didn’t want to lose her patience.

When the phone rang, startling Amy back to the present with a jolt, her hand flew to her chest. Her heart was thumping erratically until she saw Lily’s name flash across the screen. With a sigh, she set the phone down on the dining room table and set it on speaker. Since no one else was in the house, it felt good to have Lily there to disturb the silence.

“Hi, is this a bad time?”

“No, I’m just looking up courses online and trying to figure out how to finish my art project.”

“How’s that going?”

Amy wrenched her gaze away from the laptop and stared at her phone.
