Chapter 32

For the rest of the time we were at the indoor play park Brooks didn’t ask me anything too concerning. He wanted to know about life, jobs I’d had and where I’d lived. He asked me about my friends and told me about some of his.

We took B out for dinner to get her chicken nuggets and fries. I knew we’d been out a while, but I couldn’t get enough of seeing the two of them together. Every once in a while I’d catch eyes with Brooks and get those waves of excitement. If that wasn’t bad enough, it seemed like he wanted to get a rise out of me.

After a couple hours of talking, it felt like our friendship was back intact. We had a bunch of issues to overcome, but our bond was still there. B starting yawning halfway through her meal. I knew our day was going to come to an end soon and it hurt knowing that we’d have to say goodbye.

Brooks picked up the check for our food, insisting that he somehow owed me so much more. I’d never expected, nor would I ever ask him for child support. We’d share responsibilities for our daughter, even if we weren’t ever together as a couple.

Once we paid and got in the car, it only took B five minutes to fall asleep. Brooks had offered to drive to give me break, even though he was the one that hadn’t slept. We’d been driving for a good ten minutes before he pulled over in a gas station parking lot. When he didn’t get out, I knew he had something to say. “What is it?”

Brooks turned to look at me. He wasn’t crying and didn’t seem upset, but something was off. “You know, I kept your letters, even after I moved back home and found out you had a family. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t come to terms with throwing them away, because it felt like I was throwing away our love.” He looked directly into my eyes and brushed the back of his hand over my cheek. I closed my eyes when he did it. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be feeling Kat, but when I’m with you, I feel like nothing has changed between us. Now we have a little girl. I mean, Jesus Christ, we made a baby together. She’s so freaking perfect, too. I look at her and I see both of us. I can’t be angry with you, because all I wanted for so long was to be a part of your life again. I get that you’re married and he makes you happy. I can respect that. I won’t push or ask you for something that you can’t give me, but I have to know the truth. I have to know if what you said to me in all those letters was true. Do I still have your heart, or did you already give it to someone else?
