My eyes constantly flick between the front door and the kids where they’re playing on the floor. I wanted them where I could keep an eye on them, so I made them stay downstairs instead of going up into their rooms.

My leg bobs up and down, the side of my thumb between my lips as my heart rate spikes. I need to get this over with. Tell Tris, hand in my notice, and then just wait the week out.

Tires on the gravel sound outside and Izzie jumps up, pressing her face against the window. “Daddy’s home!” A small gasp leaves her lips as she turns back toward me. “Harmony’s with him!”

She runs for the door, flinging it open. I stand, following her and trying my best to smile at them.

Both of their lips are spread into grins and a happy vibe radiates off them. I find my own lips turning into a genuine smile at the look of them. It’s been so long since Tris has been happy, he deserves it in his life right now.

“Hey,” I say to Harmony as she follows Tris who is now holding Izzie, her arms wrapped around his neck.

“Hey, Amelia. How are you?”

“I’m… good.” I crack my smile up a notch. “I’m guessing things are great with you?”

Her gaze flicks behind me, her eyes shining bright before she answers. “They are.”

Closing the door, I see her step closer to Tris who is talking in hushed tones to both of the kids.

Walking a few steps toward them, I clear my throat. “I’ll leave you to it now you’re back.”

Hooking my thumb over my shoulder, I’m about to head out when Tris’s gray-eyed gaze meets mine, something in their depths stopping me.

“Sit down,” he commands, using the voice I’ve heard him use on the phone when he’s talking to someone at work.

“Really, Tris—”

He points to the sofa opposite him where the kids are sitting, staring at me. “Sit, we all need to talk.”

Taking a deep breath, I straighten my back and walk to the sofa, sitting next to Clay and watching as Tris and Harmony sit down, their hands clasped together.

“Some things are going to be changing around here.” My breath catches in my throat. I wanted to be the one to tell the kids I was leaving. I’m about to open my mouth to interrupt him when he continues, “Harmony and I are together now—”

“She’s going to be living here?” Izzie asks, her eyes wide as she shuffles in her seat in excitement.

“Not for a while,” Harmony tells her, moving forward. “But I’ll be around a little more for now and then…” She turns her gaze to Tris who is shaking his head at her.

“She’s moving in.”

“Tris,” she admonishes. “We need to talk about things—”

“Uh-huh,” he replies, a brow raised. “The outcome will still be the same, sunshine. I want you here with me and the kids. I want to come home to you, have you falling asleep next to me.”

I swallow at the intensity and start to wonder if that’s the same way Nate looks at me, if that’s how he feels about me.
