Alex sat with his favorite teddy clutched to his chest, allowing Doctor Raul to do his thing. On the other side of the room, a nurse treated my bruises, which was taking forever to heal. The ointment stung a bit, but the pain didn’t feel like mine. I was focused on the little boy a few feet away. H
“What happened this morning?” Nick asked gently. There was no trace of malice in his tone. Instead, there was curiousity. He really wanted to know. I already prepared my reply for when he blamed me. The whole thing was my fault, after all. I went over it in my head before speaking. “Alex was upse

Richard didn't know what he was talking about. He didn't know the whole story. If he did, he wouldn't say it was all about protecting me. But I wish he hadn't mentioned it. Because now, my mind was more scattered than ever. I didn’t need this battle of struggling not to think of things from Nick's
"Got it." We said our good nights and hung up. Jeremy Colt was the last person I called. My conversation with him only increased my resentment for Nick. How could he have gone to my workplace to threaten my boss? People have lost their jobs for far less. “He thought I ran off with his son, that'
