Chapter 6

Jo

I tossed and turned for what seemed like hours. Visions of Matty were mixed with nightmarish images of a beautiful little girl, who looked just like her daddy, leaving this world too soon. In the weird way that your mind sorts through the day’s events, the toddler in my dreams was my Lily, and I could hear Matty’s voice telling me that Lily and I needed to stay away from his hometown, that he needed to keep us safe. Danger found us anyway, and I watched helplessly as the dream Jo cried at a tombstone housing her husband and daughter. The nightmares seemed never-ending, and I wasn’t sure when I finally passed into a dreamless slumber.

When I finally opened my eyes, the sun was shining bright, giving the room a warm, cozy, lazy afternoon feel. My entire body ached, and I wasn’t sure if I should blame it on the dancing, shoes, or the night I’d just had. I lay back against the pillows, smelling the cologne I loved so much, and sighed, trying to sort through the dreams. Remembering that Lily Belle was safe at home with her daddy, my mind settled on Rocker and his horrific loss. I hadn’t handled it very well last night, and that made me feel bad. I wondered if Cris would tell me what had happened to Hannah.

Cris! I sat upright, searching for my phone. I groaned, remembering I hadn’t charged it last night, as I crawled out of bed and searched through my pockets. Teagan had called me a few times and sent me a text checking to make sure I was okay. I smiled, typed a quick response, and promised I’d call her later. The fact that I didn’t have any missed calls or texts from Cris surprised me. It was almost noon; I’d expected no less than ten angry messages from her.

As if on cue, the cell vibrated in my hand. Glancing down, I realized that it was from the last person I expected.

Will: Hey! Just checking to make sure you made it okay. I know you’re busy & I’m on my way out so I can’t chat. Remember my parents have the kids tonight so you’ll have to call them to say nite. Good luck apartment hunting.

I smiled and typed a quick reply, just to let him know I was safe and sound and that I did remember his parents had the kids. He and his girlfriend were going away for the weekend, and even though I’d volunteered to stay an extra few days at the house, his parents were back in the state and wanted the time with them. Things with Will and me were good—not great, but definitely good. We talked more now than when we were married and seemed to understand each other better than we had in years. For the first time, we were actually co-parenting our children. Plus, he genuinely supported my move and wanted to help any way he could. I knew most of his behavior was driven by guilt, but at least he was trying.
