Chapter Seven

“Ms. Johnson, are you okay? What happened? Are you hurt? Ill?” The night custodian rushed to her side.

Marcia had no idea how long she’d sat on the floor, too shattered to cry. All the hope she’d carried through the limbo of their years apart had disintegrated in a single moment. Adrian wanted a divorce.

“I was just resting, Anna. I’m fine.” What a lie. She’d never felt less fine.

“You must go home. Sleep,” the woman prodded, concern lining her weathered face.

“You’re right.” Marcia stumbled to her feet, wincing at the stiffness in her legs. How long had she sat in a miserable stupor? “I do need a good night’s sleep. I’m sorry about the mess of pizza boxes. I meant to clear them out earlier.”

“No worries. I’ll take care of everything. Let me call the night guard to escort you home.”

“I’m fine. Really. Thanks for checking on me.” She gathered her belongings, trying not to give away her shaky, fragile state.

Instead of an escort from the night guard, she wanted Adrian to drive her home. The moment they’d enter her apartment, she’d wrap her arms and legs around him and kiss him until he forgot all about the ugly D word, until he didn’t notice the weight she’d gained, until he only cared about thrusting inside her again and again.

But he wasn’t waiting next to her car. Instead, she waved to security and left the parking garage alone, driving through the empty streets to her apartment. Not a soul peeked through the curtains in the other units as she shuffled to her door and let herself in.

Leaning against the door to close it, she let her purse and work bag slide from her shoulders. Her husband had traveled across the country to see her. He’d even kissed her like she was special and precious and he’d missed her. And then, he’d ended it.

They hadn’t attempted to discover if they still had the magic that had made them inseparable the first time around. She hadn’t grabbed hold of the second chance to explore his body or lose herself in his treasured embrace. She would never be loved by him again.

God damn it.

She kicked her shoe loose, hurtling the low-heeled pump across the room. It hit a tray with a precarious stack of papers on the counter. The tray wobbled, and bills and notices slithered in slow motion to the floor. With a yank, she freed her second pump, intent on throwing it, too.

But when she drew back her arm, the anger drained out of her, and she lowered her hand to her side. She hadn’t blown her chance in the past few hours. She’d blown it when she’d walked away from Adrian all those years ago.

If only she could have a chance to hold him and make love to him one more time. Instead of all the what-ifs and what-could-have-beens that would haunt her forever, she’d treasure him and store up memories to cling to.

Trudging across the room, Marcia sighed at the mess of papers on the floor.
