Chapter 23

Emma

I hear Mick squeal and look through the curtained kitchen window to see the boys playing with Jameson in the backyard. It makes me unbearably sad to see him tossing a football to each of them in turn. My husband is home for all the good it does me. I’ve won the battle though, I can be happy with that. Bianca is out of our lives.

I know he loves me and even pregnant he finds me desirable...

It feels like we aren’t speaking, though we are. Niceties. Polite words.

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

Dinner was wonderful.

Aside from that, he mopes and I hate that he does.

When he doesn’t know I’m watching him, I do, and seeing him play with the children makes his silence bearable.

I keep hoping he’ll forget her, but even if he does, will there always be another?

The simple answer is yes. I’m not an idiot. The truth is I don’t know if I can live like this for the rest of my life. No, I can. This is better than being separated. The boys need their father at home raising them.

Stepping out into the bright sunlight, it’s easy to go to him, to rub my hands over his shoulders and remind him I am here. It’s easy because I love him, and I always will. We made a promise to each other. For better or worse. This is hopefully as bad as it will get.

Leaning over him, I kiss his cheek. “I love you.”

Closing my eyes, I hold his shoulders, hoping I’ll hear the whispered words in return. I don’t. Releasing him, I know he needs time to forget her.

He will.

He has to.
