As tired and as bone weary as she felt, Mari knew she had to act now, before Nico eroded any desire on her part to leave him. She gathered her daughter in her arms.

Mari crept down the stairs with a sleeping Alex held close to her body. She could see Nico’s study door open, with Gio in deep discussions with him inside. Martha was busy in the kitchen. It was almost too easy, she thought, and they silently exited the flat.

She took the elevator to the garage floor without it stopping once in its descent. They exited the building through the service delivery area without any security blocking her exit.

Alex woke as soon as they entered the sunlight. She immediately wanted to be let down to better view her new surroundings. She didn’t protest or fuss the abrupt change away from her familiar environment.

Thank God my child is so sweet-tempered!

It was the middle of April, in late afternoon, so although the sun was out, there was still a decided chill in the air. Mari’s goal was to get to Richard’s flat, fifteen minutes away by taxi. Richard had given her a key when she was pregnant with Alex. It served to ensure she always had a secure place to stay in London. She very quickly hailed a taxi, and was taken to her destination without further incident.

The doorman recognized her as they entered the building and waved an enthusiastic hello to Alex. Alex skipped along behind her mother and waved a cheeky greeting back. The key on her ring opened the locked front door. Mari sighed with relief.

Upon entering the flat, she immediately went to the kitchen and started preparing a light meal for them. The flat was the usual bachelor pad. But thanks to Richard’s housekeeper, who came in twice a week, the fridge and cupboards were always adequately stocked. Although the housekeeper was scheduled to come in the next day, Mari still ensured she left everything as neat and tidy as she’d met it.

“Man gone?” Alex asked her suddenly.

Mari was surprised that Alex was already missing her father.

“Not man, baby. Daddy. Can you say ‘daddy’?”

“Daddy! Daddy!” her daughter triumphantly chanted.

Mari smiled at her easy acceptance and cheerful personality.

Once she and Alex were fed and comfortable, Mari took her to the bedroom for a bath, and soon after put her to bed.

She stood under a hot shower, contemplating her dilemma and trying to come to grips with having Nico back in her life. Seeing him today had been a shock to her system. She was annoyed to find that after all that had passed, she still loved him. She would be extra vigilant in preventing even a glimmer of her feelings for him to be revealed again. No matter what transpired between them, her love for Nico wouldn’t be a determining factor this time around. She had her child to consider. Alex’s wellbeing was all that mattered and would dictate her action. After experiencing her parents’ indifference, Mari was more determined than ever to do better, to be the conscientious, selfless parent Alex needed.
