Olivia

What is he doing here?!

That is the question that's screaming in my head as soon as my eyes land on James Crofton.

I blink rapidly, hoping that, somehow, he'll disappear from my sight and I'll just brush it off like I'm hallucinating him because I keep thinking about him. But at every blink, he is still standing there, staring back at me, the shock in his eyes evident.

He is just as surprised to see me here as I am to see him here.

Did he track me? Even if that's the case, why would he have me tracked?

"Mommy!" Bonnie shrieks suddenly, cutting off my train of thought and plunging me into a world of horror.

Oh no!

My daughter throws her hands around my legs as she hugs me, but I cannot keep my eyes away from James. He's staring at Bonnie, his face giving off that he was deep in thoughts, wheels turning in his head.

He doesn't remember me, right? He cannot know that Bonnie is his... daughter, right?

But I'm wrong because I watched as his eyes widen in realization.

Oh shit...

Wait, does he remember me? Did he ever forget?

A surge of anger courses through my veins at that thought.

"Bonnie," I turn to my daughter. "Can you go into the office? I'll be right with you," I tell her. She nods and makes to go in, but James' voice stops her.

"Bonnie?" he calls and she halts in her steps, turning to look at him. I freeze, watching him walk closer to us and crouch again to her level. "How old are you?"

He remembers! He has always known I'm the one from five years ago. There is absolutely no way his memory just came back.

Bonnie is about to respond but I beat her to it.

"Bonnie, go. Now," I order her, and she quickly scurries away.

James gets back up on his feet and he is towering over me, standing just inches away from me. We stare at each other for what felt like an eternity. James' jaw is locked, something akin to anger marred across his face as he stares down at me.

He is angry? I'm supposed to be the angry one!

"Is she who I think she is?" he asks through gritted teeth.

"You remember me." I ignore his question, firing him with one of mine. "For how long?"

That didn't deter him.

"Is she mine?"

"For how long?" I repeat my question. The vein at the side of his head threatened to pop.

"Answer me!" he yells back at me, causing me to flinch slightly at the intensity of the anger in his voice. His eyes are blazing red with fury and he looks like he's about to combust.

I exhale, then nod.

"She's yours," I answer and watch as the color drains from his face. "Bonnie is your daughter."

"Fuck!" he cusses, combing his finger through his brown hair before running it through his face, a conflicted look on his face. I sigh, exhausted.

I can't begin to imagine what's going on in his mind right now. This is not how I wanted him to know.
