Chapter 8

Amy is doing her best not to ask me any questions about my situation. I returned to work when my face was healed. Everyone said how they missed me and were glad to have me back. Only Amy knew the real reason I wasn’t at work. But in the three weeks that I’ve been back, Amy can see I’m not happy but she has the good grace not ask me anything. She waits for me to bring it up first and I’m glad of that.

There’s a meeting for the sales team and as I’m lead administrator I’m invited and I get to discover, for the first time, who has taken over from Adam. It’s a guy called Richard Merrick. He’s great, fun, heads up the meeting with an assured air and knows what he’s talking about. But he’s not Adam. There is still a great vibe in the room with him taking charge, but I know I will miss Adam’s presence. No one will ever know that for a one brief moment Adam and I came close to having a relationship. A serious one. Guys like Adam are one in a million and I can’t help wondering about what could have been.

So far, Drew hasn’t laid a finger on me, but the drinking has crept its way back into his life so quickly it is hard to imagine that he was clean for over a month. Needless to say, he didn’t keep the job he said he had when he met me that afternoon. Who would want to keep on a guy who was late every morning and sometimes didn’t return after lunch?

Drew mooches around the apartment like a sick puppy. I have to tell him when to shower, I cook for him, get him to take out the garbage, and it’s wearing me down. I still haven’t told him about the baby. In a month or so I will start to show and I will have to let the office know. I will put it off as long as possible. I’m always praying for the miracle that Drew will get sober again.

“Macey.” Richard Merrick snaps me out of my dark thoughts about Drew at the end of the meeting. I look at him as if I’m engaged in what he’s saying, although the last few minutes of the meeting are lost on me. “I want to go over a few of these client files with you.”

The words resonate with me. Those were near enough the ones Adam used to use when he needed an excuse to get close to me. I miss that. It was a form of attention. Something that has been lacking in my life and that I would dearly love to have again. I miss being close with anyone. I miss the feeling of being in love and being loved. I’m sick of faking it with Drew and praying for a miracle.

“Sure, Richard. Now? Or should we schedule for later?”

“Now will do.”

I take a seat beside Richard at the big boardroom table.
