It’s been a week since whatever Jack and I had ended. I’ve drowned myself in work, which luckily, hasn’t been affected by my melancholy. As of now I’m ahead of schedule so…thank you, Jack.

Egan, Jack’s IT guy, called me to tell me he was looking into the email and would call me if anything came up. I thought about telling him to refer me to someone else, but he’s the best. He also asked me to forward any more emails that I get from Martha.

I think Delilah and Reece know something happened—they’ve been overly friendly. I’ve seen Jack’s truck at their house a couple of times so I’ve stayed in the house like a shut-in until he leaves.

Now, I carry Fifty and his leash outside and take him over to my butterfly garden. After I attach his leash, I set him on the ground. I smile as he nibbles on some grass. The butterflies flit around, and I tip my head back, letting the sun warm my skin.

“Fifty, let’s go for a walk.” I pick him up and walk around the side of the house to the front.

We walk down the sidewalk, and I smile while I watch kids in a yard down the street chase each other.

“Is that a bunny?” I hear a little voice ask.

“Sam, wait for me.” A man comes up behind the little boy. He’s really handsome: tall, lean, with dark blond hair and deep brown eyes.

“Dad, look at this bunny. It’s so cool, can I get one?”

The man holds out his hand to me. “Hi, I’m Tanner. This is Sam.”

I don’t feel like talking, but I still shake his hand. “I’m Harley, and this is Fifty.” Tanner raises his eyebrow. “Yeah, he’s named after those books.”

“Can I pet him?”

I squat down in front of the little boy, who looks like a tiny version of his father. “Sure, just be gentle.”

He very carefully strokes Fifty’s back. “He’s so soft. What kind of bunny is he?”

“He’s a Lionhead Lop, and yes, he’s very soft. While I work he sleeps on a little bed on my desk. He’s the laziest bunny I’ve ever met.” He giggles, and it makes me smile.

“Hawey!” I know that voice and turn to see Charlie, Reece, and Jack walking down the sidewalk.

“I better get going, but it was nice meeting you guys.” I start walking toward them, but keep my eyes on Charlie; she reaches me first. “Hi, sweetheart.” I look at both Reece and Jack, but Jack’s gaze is focused on something behind me. I don’t care, though—that way I can avoid him. “Hey, Reece.”

Reece gives me a smile. “Hey, Harley.”

I bend down and hug Charlie and then walk around them, heading back down to my house. As soon as I’m inside I lock the door and put Fifty in his cage. I decide to take myself out for a nice dinner.

I’ve already showered, so all I need to do is freshen up. I’ve never had a problem eating alone. Honestly, I usually just catch up on my reading or do some plotting.
