Nine

Genevieve woke up alone. She knew Finn was gone before she’d even opened her eyes. Dread curled through her belly, but she forced it down. Nope, she wasn’t going to let herself think the worst.

But instinct had her hand moving over to where he’d been sleeping to test if the sheets held any residual warmth. They did, although what did that prove?

Nothing really, except that she needed to get a grip on herself. She was either doing this or she wasn’t, and if she was she couldn’t live every day waiting for the other shoe to drop.

That wasn’t fair to Finn, but it also wasn’t fair to Noah. Or herself.

Rolling onto her back, Genevieve pressed the heels of her palms into her eyes and rubbed. It had been two days since the studio. And since then, Finn had been at her side. Which was amazing, but it was also overwhelming.

She hadn’t had a chance to catch her breath. To reason her way through what was happening and just how she needed to handle it all.

Maybe she needed to send Finn home for a while.

Grabbing her phone from the nightstand, Genevieve looked at the screen through bleary eyes, but that all changed when she registered the big numbers glaring at her.

9:18.

Bolting out of bed, she was halfway down the hall, her heart thudding for a completely different reason. No toddler slept until 9:18. Something was wrong.

It didn’t help to find her son’s room empty. Or for the rest of the house to feel eerily quiet. Darting through the house, she skidded to a halt at the kitchen. The empty kitchen.

Spinning in a circle, the dread that had churned her belly minutes before was now making it a whirlpool. Until something out of place caught her eye. A white piece of paper in the middle of the counter.

Snatching it up, her eyes raced over the words, just starting to digest them as the garage door began to rumble.

Yanking open the door, she raced into the garage. Even though, thanks to Finn’s note, her brain knew what was going on, the rest of her needed to feel Noah’s little body cradled in her arms.

Finn had barely stopped the car before Genevieve popped open the back door. Noah grinned up at her, chocolate smeared across his angelic face.

“Doughnuts, Mama.”

Her precious son took the smashed-up treat gripped in his tight fist and shoved it against her lips.

Her hands shook as she unbuckled him from his seat. Her arms felt weak, but she wasn’t about to let him go once she’d scooped him up. Hugging him close, Genevieve pressed a kiss to his head and breathed in his toddler scent.

Rounding the car, Finn gave her a huge grin and leaned in for a kiss. But after touching his lips to hers he suddenly pulled back. His eyebrows beetled with confusion.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

With his arm wrapped around her body, there was no way she could hide the tremors still working through her.

“I woke up and you were both gone.
