Shawn

Ella was almost a year old now. Abigail took some time and left me for a week. I didn’t know where she went, what she did, but I knew when she came back, she was different. She was not as tired. She looked rested. She wasn’t looking at me with anger. She smiled. She still kept her distance, but I had a feeling that there was some healing between us. God, I hoped there was anyway.

Abigail and I slept apart. I was on the sofa most nights or on the floor in the spare room. But we talked. We made meals together and I helped her with Ella. We did things as a family—picnics, the zoo, the park. We looked like a normal family, only we still weren’t solid. We still were healing from my cheating.

Every day, I would kiss Abigail on the cheek before leaving for work. I’d tell her that I loved her. This morning, we were in the kitchen and she was making breakfast while I watched Ella. I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

“Abs, you’re beautiful.”

She turned to look at me.

“I’m a mess, Shawn.”

I moved behind her and put my arms around her waist and told her what was in my heart.

“You’ve never been a mess. You’ve always been beautiful. The way your hair shines in the sun, your light brown locks shimmering with strings of gold. Your eyes when you smile, the deep chocolate pools I want to lose myself in and your body. The curves you’ve always had were perfect, but since you carried Ella, damn, baby, you’ve filled out and the curves are perfection. Not just perfect any longer, but perfection. I know you don’t believe me but I truly have only ever wanted you. I love you, Abs. I hope you can come back to me.”

To my surprise, she turned in my arms and looked in my eyes before kissing my lips gently.

“Thank you, Shawn. I’m getting there. In fact, my mom wants to take Ella for an overnight stay this weekend. I was hoping we could spend some time together and talk.”

“Whatever you want, Abs. I can pick up dinner, or if you feel like going out, we could go out and come home to talk.”
