Chapter Seven

“Please tell me he’s a meat eater?” her mother, Emma, asked.

“Yes, Xavier likes meat.” Anya sat outside of the office building, eating a sandwich. Xavier was on a very important conference call. She made sure he had some lunch, and decided to eat hers outside on one of the walls, watching the hustle and bustle of the city life go by.

“Good, good. I have no problem with people being vegetarian, or whatever they want to call it. Just not for me. A meal is not a meal without some meat.”

“There are a lot of people who will disagree. I like vegetarian food. You should make the lasagna. Amazing.”

She heard her mother’s scoff. “Can you imagine me feeding Harold a vegetarian lasagna?”

“Nope. Dad wouldn’t talk to you for weeks.”

“Now that you say that, I may just make it for him.”

Anya started laughing. Her mother and father loved each other very much. “How much does he know of … my arrangement?”

“He knows everything, sweetie. You know I don’t keep things like that from your father.”

Anya groaned. “That’s not good.”

“I don’t lie to my husband. I love your father very much. How does this whole thing work for you?”

“We’re trying for a baby. We’re going to make it work together.”

“Do you like him?”

“Most of the time. He’s not a bad guy. Yeah, he has his moments of being an asshole, but don’t all guys?”

“Your father’s annoyed that we didn’t get invited to your wedding.”

“No one did. It was done in a courtroom. Documents sealed, nothing fancy.” There was no elaborate dress. They had both been dressed for work. It had been an office day. In the morning she went in as Anya Miller, PA. When she returned she was Anya Leigh, PA. Strange even to her.

“We wanted fancy for you.”

“I’m not the kind of person to appreciate it.”

“Okay, well, how about him making you happy? Does he make you happy?”

“Yes, he does.” She wasn’t going to go into detail of the ways that Xavier made her happy. Spending so much time with him over the past week, she’d started to see the little things. It wasn’t just about the boys he helped in foster care. He loved them, and his cause, making sure he did everything for them. Late one night, he’d been making love to her when his cell phone rang. It hadn’t been his work phone. He owned a special cell for emergencies only. After he finished making love to her, they had gone in search of a boy who hadn’t come home.

They’d found the kid alone at a park, crying. Her heart had broken for the little boy who had found out that his mother had moved on, and wasn’t coming back for him.

“He’s a good man, most of the time.” She told her mother about the incident with the boys, and her mother fell in love with him.

“How can this man be considered a bastard?” Emma asked.

“He’s not very nice to previous girlfriends, and he tends to cause a few problems.
