I’M ON THE floor playing with Lil D, while Mom and Alizeh are in the kitchen finishing cleaning from dinner. Dad, Duke, and even Buster are outside enjoying the rare non-humid night. Playing with my nephew is the highlight of my week. Ce-Ce, my one and only witness, ended up dying from her injuries. She wasn’t just beaten up; she was beaten to a pulp. My case is back at square one, and I hate being in that particular square because I don’t have enough to even question the man she told us about. Lil D coos and laughs as I shake the toy and make noise.

“Having fun?” Alizeh sits down on the couch.

“Actually, I really am.”

“Duke told me about this week. Are you okay?”

I shrug as I hand Lil D the rattling toy.

“Ariella, you’re smart; I know you’ll find a connection.” She pats my shoulder.

“I know. I’ll just need to go back to the beginning and start over again.” I give her a hopeful smile.

My family walks into the living room, and Lil D reaches for his dad. It’s cute to watch, and it makes me wonder about Colby being a father.

Stop it! It’s too soon.

I know in my head I’m being unrealistic, but my heart is screaming, “How far is Vegas to elope?” But I’m trying to be a realist, and we’re way too early in the relationship.

“It’s a shame Colby couldn’t make it tonight,” Dad speaks up.

“He had a game out of town,” I remind him. I’ve already told him twice.

“I know, but it would’ve been nice for him to make time,” Dad grunts.

“Fletcher, he’s in New York. It’s not like he’s a few blocks over.” Mom helps me out.

Duke turns the attention to Lil D, and we are all completely entertained by my sweet nephew’s playing skills.

As the night winds down, I realize I’m much more tired than I thought and I hug and kiss everyone good-bye. I gather up Buster and we head back to my house. A hot shower and my latest romance book is what I want to do for the rest of the night. I do wish Colby wasn’t in New York and here instead, but it’s his job.

When I get home, I do exactly as I planned, and I snuggle in the couch, with Buster at my feet; my mind wanders in thought about Colby’s job. He’s been traded several times in his career and I know a professional player isn’t guaranteed to be with the same team the entire team. However, Colby’s older, but does it make a difference? I’m not even sure.

What if we do get really serious and he’s traded, then what? My life is here in Memphis. My job, my family, it’s all here and I’m not sure I want to give it up. But, would I if I truly loved Colby, and we became that serious?

I don’t know.

I just don’t know.
