Weeks passed, uneventfully. Hank picked up the girls a couple of times a week, never staying longer than he needed to. They were unfailingly polite to one another, and at times it began to test Jamie-Leigh’s patience. It was everything she had spent the past months hoping for, but now Hank seemed to be acting like an adult again, Jamie-Leigh found herself confused because it wasn’t enough.

It was Sunday and she and the girls were sitting together waiting for the service to begin. She closed her eyes, and offered up her troubles to God, trying to have faith that all of this chaos was for the best. Trying to have faith that she and the girls would come out on the other side whole and happy again.

“Mom, Dad’s here,” Casey said, tugging at Jamie-Leigh’s arm, turning to wave frantically at Hank who had taken a seat at the rear of the sanctuary. Jamie-Leigh turned. Hank looked nervous, his big body fidgeting as he glanced around him. She gave him a reassuring smile.

“Sit properly, you can see your dad after the service,” Jamie-Leigh said, forcing Casey to sit down before Emily worked out what they were talking about and ran back to sit with him. Thankfully Em seemed to be completely distracted by a new Bible story book she’d gotten in Sunday School.

Pastor Joseph launched into a lengthy sermon about forgiveness, but Jamie-Leigh could barely focus on his words, as she wondered what had finally brought Hank back to church. He certainly seemed to have changed in recent weeks. He’d made commitments to spend time with the girls, and had kept them without fail. The girls had even slept over a couple of nights at his new place. They’d raved for days about how he’d decorated their bedroom for them, all pink and pretty, apparently. He seemed more like the husband she’d loved, not the snarky and bitter cheater he’d turned into.

But, Jamie-Leigh still found it hard to be around him. Every time she looked into his eyes, she wondered what she had done wrong, why she’d not been enough for him. He’d always been everything she needed, everything she wanted. She couldn’t imagine ever wanting anyone else. Yet, he had chosen to replace her.

Amelia Haines was pretty, had been the head of the cheerleading squad, and was peppy and youthful. She was everything Jamie-Leigh had never been in her high school years. Oh, sure she’d been popular enough in school – but only Jamie-Leigh knew that her popularity had stemmed from ensuring her classmates received good grades, rather than her sparkling wit and personality. She’d been clever enough to realize early on that she had something the popular kids in school needed, but didn’t have. Then she used it to her advantage rather than letting them take advantage of her in the way they usually did to the geeks and the nerds.

Jamie-Leigh could feel her stomach begin to churn as Pastor Joseph came to the end of his sermon. Soon she’d have to speak to Hank.
