Chapter: Chapter 20.It gets to George’s turn and mom looks at dad who has been sitting quietly with a smile. Mom holds his hands, and nods her head. Dad reaches into his pocket and brings out a key, handing it over to George. Up until now, I thought dad didn’t recognize anybody. But that’s not how Alzheimer's works, right? George is in awe as he slowly takes the key from him, and I wonder what the key means. “Oh my God.” I hear Martha sobs with her hands over her mouth.“Is this…” George looks at mom, and she nods.Is this what…? Gosh the suspense is killing me.“Is that a key to a Benz? Or am I missing something.” I figure no one is ready to say anything if I don’t ask.“Is the key to Grab a bite.” “Wait, Dad’s store?” Dad had a fast food counter. He sold the best burger in town. He loved it. We loved it. I remember getting excited every saturday because I get to spend the whole day at Grab a bite, helping daddy serve customers, while Martha and George would do the dishes. It was practically dad’s leg

Chapter: Chapter 19.SARAH. I had the best day ever. I didn’t think I would be able to be that happy. I still can't believe I actually ice skated. Whatttt? I was able to overcome my fear of ice skating, and I did it happily. All thanks to Kelvin. I’m glad he came here. The way I feel safe with him scares me, and at the same time, it feels so good. I throw myself on my bed, well mine and Lorenzo’s bed. I glare at him as he snores in his peaceful sleep. I feel like killing him with the pillow under my head. Was it worth it? Was Catherine worth it? She’s not even that pretty, so what exactly made Lorenzo choose her over me? And when I expect him to apologize, he throws a divorce on my face. Well, go to hell and burn, good thing I don’t need your cheating ass to be happy. Saying all that was just for consolation, self consolation. It changes nothing, absolutely nothing. My wounds are still fresh, but with time I believe it’s going to heal. But I don't think it would, because tell me why he had to come to my

Chapter: Chapter 18.KELVIN.Finally we get home, I mean, Sarah’s parents’ house. We can see everyone through the window. They are happily discussing and laughing. I used to think there’s nothing like a perfect family, but Lisa’s family happens to be perfect. Well, aside the fact that Lorenzo and Sarah are going to get a divorce. Does anyone else know about this? I don’t think so. This will break them, just like it has broken Sarah. I really hope they all find the best way to handle this, and help Sarah get through it. I knew there was something off. The frowning and avoidance. It was all there. She talks less when he’s around and tries to stay clear of his path. How can her family not see that she’s going through a lot? She is not even hiding it that well. What about Lisa? Damn, this is going to break her. She has always looked up to her parents and speaks highly of their love for each other. How is she going to feel when she finds out that her family is about to fall apart. I have always wished for my p

Chapter: Chapter 17.SARAH.I have no idea why I told him that. Somehow I felt like I have known him for a really long time. And I feel safe talking to him. It took him one day to make me happier than I have ever been in years. Well, I guess that's how they are from the start. They make you feel special, safe and important, but as time goes by, they treat you like trash, like you are invisible and doesn’t matter. I won’t let myself get deceived by another man. If Lorenzo could do that to me after all the love we both shared, then I can’t trust anyone else with my heart, not even a 21 year old college boy. I think he’s more shocked than I was when Lorenzo asked me for a divorce because he isn’t saying anything, and I think it’s better this why.“Kelvin!” Cassy runs to us. “That was fun,” she says, then she looks at me. “I haven’t seen someone who is as horrible as you at Ice skating,” she adds. That was fair. I knew it was a bad idea from the start, but screw that. I don’t need to be good at ice skating

Chapter: Chapter 16.She seems awfully quiet siping on her Milkshake. Yes, it’s dark but I can tell she’s not happy with something. She’s putting on the same face she has whenever Lorenzo is around, which makes me wonder what the problem might be. Few minutes ago she was so happy, laughing her lungs out. Probably it’s a mood swing, but I’m not going to let her be sad on my watch. “Are you okay? You’ve been quiet.”“I’m fine. It’s just… forget it.”“It’s just what?” She looks into my eyes for a few seconds.“What happened with that girl, I just don’t feel comfortable with it.”“What girl?” I ask, totally confused.“The lady that was calling my Mrs Lorenzo…”“Ohhh,” I utter. “What about it?”“Well, I just find it cringey to be addressed as Mrs Lorenzo,” she says, and gets me more confused. I raise my brows and tilt my head. “Don’t get me wrong. I love being Mrs Lorenzo, it’s just…you know, people seeing me like a celebrity or someone very important when they don’t actually know me. It’s like being Mrs L

Chapter: Chapter 15.“And how am I sure I’m not going to wipe my butt countless times on that ice?”“You just have to trust me,” I reply and she tilts her head.“I’m the team leader of the NYU hockey game.”“Really?” I tilt my head.“Yeah.”She places her palm on mine, and now I feel something. It’s as if our souls collide, and we’ve become one, and I have become whole. The warmth of her hands makes me feel selfer than I have ever been. I’m not gonna lie, joining hands with her fixes something inside of me, something I never knew was broken.“I guess I’m in safe hands then.” She looks at our hands, then at my face, then she smiles.I hope Lorenzo is aware of what he has. She’s a rare pearl. If she was mine, I would never hurt her. If she was mine, I would never be sad. I know it might seem wrong to have these feelings for someone twice my age, but you have no idea how beautiful it feels, how whole I feel. Maybe spending the holidays with Lisa’s family was meant to happen. Maybe Sarah and I were meant to f
