My reaction to the results of Sara’s pregnancy test was controlled. I knew how she felt about the whole situation, so I tried to reel in my disappointment at the news. There was plenty of time to persuade her to reconsider in the future.

I couldn’t believe I was looking forward to discussing the possibility of starting a family with anyone. But Sara wasn’t just any woman. She was the love of my life and I knew it. I knew it deep inside my soul.

As the weeks passed, we had long talks about our relationship and where we saw things going. Sometimes I acted as if I was the woman, wanting to know where we stood. I held back most times, but inside my head, I was a fucking nightmare. I wanted to punch me.

One afternoon, I asked her to join me on a little shopping excursion, needing to pick up some new things for my office. As I knew she would, she agreed.

Our day together was relaxing. We were having a blast, reveling in each other’s company. No stress. She wasn’t prompting me to make any crazy demands, and therefore I didn’t have to deal with her stubbornness. I managed to remain calm and free-spirited all day. It was a side of me I knew she liked seeing.

“I wish every day could be like this, so carefree and jovial.” Her tone was hopeful.

“If you would listen to me and do as I ask then every day could be this nice.” The grin on my face told her everything. I was indeed making light of my crazy statement.

“Yeah, well, that’ll never happen, so we may as well enjoy the moment,” she said, giving me her best smirk. While the majority of our time spent together was happy and blissful, there were times we argued. Not full-on fighting, just disagreeing. She pushed my buttons, as I did hers. We would bicker then would be done with it, nine times out of ten ending up in bed, fucking each other senseless.

We were walking hand in hand in front of the many little shops in the center of town when I heard someone call out my name. Looking ahead, I couldn’t see who it was until a man parted through the small crowd.

Glancing at Sara, I couldn’t help the huge ear-splitting grin which spread across my surprised face.

“Devera? Is that you?” he shouted as he quickened his pace.

Ushering Sara forward, I bridged the remaining distance between us and one of my oldest friends. His extended hand connected with mine as I pulled him in for a big hug. Damn, we hadn’t seen each other in years. How the time flies when life is all too consuming, especially those past few months.

“Kael Stonebridge! What the hell are you doing here?” I asked as we finally broke apart and took a step back from each other.

“Adara and I moved back from California two weeks ago. I meant to look you up but have been so busy with the move and everything.
