Twenty-Five

Saylor

Tomorrow, at the stroke of midnight, a brand-new year would begin. A fresh start. A do-over. It wasn’t the new beginning I wanted to mark but the ending of the worst year of my life. I wouldn’t kiss Colin at midnight. There wasn’t a party to go to. Though, if my brother had his way, I’d be in Atlanta with him and his friends. Our parents had offered to keep Knox for the weekend, and East had tried to get me to go when he left this morning. When I’d told him no, he’d insisted on staying home.

He worried about me. My little breakdown the other day had done nothing to help ease his mind. It had taken a lot of convincing, but he’d finally left an hour ago after I assured him a dozen times that I truly was fine. As for me, I planned to party hard this weekend and ring in the New Year in style—in my pajamas with my son. Chances were, we would be asleep well before the ball dropped.

The only thing I wanted to do today was hang out with my little man and play with the toys he had gotten for Christmas. Poor Rex had already been cast aside for the Lincoln Logs.

The toys rattled as Knox tipped over the container on the living room area rug. “I build a tower as big as the sky.”

“Wow. That’ll be awesome.”

“Mommy, you help?”

“One sec, little man.”

I palmed my phone and opened the stream of text messages from Jase that had been sent over the last few days and read them all, including the one that had come in a few minutes ago.

Jase: Sweet dreams.

Jase: I’m thinking about you.

Jase: Are you okay?

Jase: Socks, please talk to me.

Jase: I know what today is, and I’m so sorry you’re hurting. I’m going to call you.

Me: I’m okay.

Jase: I miss you.
