Chapter 10

Nova walked into her kitchen as she always did after she put Teo to bed to make his lunch for school the next day. But she realized that she didn’t have to. Spring break had arrived and as much as she loved the thought of having her little boy with her all week, it worried her.

What was she going to do with him for the next five days? Before, he used to spend huge chunks of his time at Mansi’s house. Before Christmas, if he had a day off from school, he automatically went to her. After school had been spent at her house. Weekends when Nova had to work Teo went there. Nova had been absent from his life. Yes, she was working. Or taking classes. Studying up on the latest techniques. She was desperate to give him a better life than she had, especially since she had gotten pregnant with him at the worst possible time. But it had caused a rift between her and her son, a distance that she sometimes thought she would never be able to seal. He thought she didn’t want him. He had said the words out loud, and knowing that almost killed her. She had made an effort to change that day. She was going to spend as much time with him as possible. This week she was going to be with him.

Time was what she’d wanted with her mother. Sober, clearheaded time. It was what she’d wanted from her own mother and never got. Nova had thought about her mother a lot lately. She wondered what the woman would think about how she turned out. Would she have been happy with it? Nova hadn’t accomplished any of the goals they had made for her. Her life had gone so off course at the age of seventeen it was nearly unrecognizable from the dreams she had once had. But it wasn’t a bad life and there were moments when Nova had happiness. Teo made her happy. Being around her family made her happy.

Tanner . . . Well, she wasn’t sure he made her happy. He made her . . . feel something. Sometimes she thought she was numb to anything other than anger and bitterness, but Tanner made her feel things she didn’t know how to put into words.

The landline in the kitchen rang and she picked it up without bothering to look at the caller ID. It was usually Mansi at this time. Telling her to turn on some show so that they could watch it together, or asking her to pick up some item from the store. Since Nova left Teo at Mansi’s house less and less, she was seeing less of her grandmother. She missed the old woman.

How the hell could she seriously consider moving to Boston, if not seeing her grandmother every single day of the week made her sad? That was something she was going to have to face. She had accepted the job for the Second Lady.
