Chapter fifteen

Sidney

I’m still feeling shell-shocked after my conversation with Archer. All day I stewed and painted him as the villain. But that afternoon when he’d given his side, I felt awful. I want to hate him. But all I can think of is the anguish of a father who wants to help his child. He’d tried to hide it but I heard the pain in his voice when he spoke about getting Grant into rehab.

After leaving his office, I did a lot of thinking. And I’d been hoping to talk to him on the way home. But when I saw Jeffery turn up as my driver, my heart dropped. And it serves me right. After all, I’d been the one to set the parameters. But there’s a tiny part of me that wonders if I’ve done the right thing. I don’t know what I wanted his response to be. But the agreement is not it. There had been no emotion when he responded either, and it cut me to the core. I guess I’m that disposable.

I hold my tears back as I walk past Tony in the lobby.

“Hi, Sidney! Maria sent these for you.”

I force a smile and take the package he hands to me. I see him stare at me briefly, and for a split second, I think he’s going to say something. I know that if he does, I’ll fall apart. But he remains silent as he escorts me upstairs. The first tear falls as I close the door behind me.

I message Michelle and ask her to come over to my apartment before I go into a complete meltdown. I haven’t seen her since that fateful night at the club. But we have spoken every day except yesterday. Yesterday, I was still in shock. She’d been elated when I told her about moving in with Archer. But now that she’s being summoned to my apartment, I know she’ll have questions.

I take a quick shower and get some dinner started. By the time she arrives, I’m a little more composed. But as soon as I see her face, I break down all over again.

“Awww. Come on, sweetheart. Tell mama Michelle all about it.”

“Grant is his son!”

“What!?”

I nod rapidly. “Yup.”

“But how? Grant is Duncan. He’s Colleymore.”

“Grant took his mother’s name when he turned eighteen. It was awful, Michelle. One minute I was getting juice and heading back to bed, the next there was Grant’s picture, looking up at me from a box of family photos by the kitchen door. I ran so fast! I still don’t know how I made it over the wall.”

“Wait. What?” Her mouth hangs open for a second, “You jumped a wall? Start from the top and leave nothing out.”

She pulls me to the couch and I lay my head on her lap. I tell her all I can remember about how good the two weeks were. I'm near tears again when I get to how things unfolded yesterday morning.

“And the thing is, Mich, I was really beginning to think there could’ve been some sort of future for us.
