Renee’s POV I’ll never forget the look on Eric’s face when I told him I was pregnant. Beneath the shock was the unmistakable radiance of joy.Blurting out that I was pregnant was not exactly how I planned to reveal the big announcement, but seeing his eyes light up and his entire being heighten w
Outside is much more peaceful. People still filter about now that the weather is warmed up. We’re actually nearing my death anniversary, what an odd thing to consider, but neither Eric or I mention it.Eric and I stand by a tall round tables with a white cloth draped over it. In the table are a cute
Renee’s POV “That wasn’t so bad was it?” I ask Eric as he holds the door open for me as we leave Donna’s office. Eric lets out a huff of air like he’s been holding his breath the entire time we were in there, and maybe in some way he was.Maybe for a different reason than Eric, but I also feel lig
The sun is tucked behind some tall trees causing the temperature to drop. “There you are!” Andrew calls stepping our from behind us. I nearly jump in my own skin. “What took you so long?”“What’s going on?” Eric asks ignoring Andrew’s question. Andrew quickly understands that he’s going to go unansw
Renee’s POV “Renee, I’m not that kind of doctor,” Jasper warns me, looking like he might be sick. I roll my eyes and let out a sigh.“Yes; but you are well-informed on anatomy,” I point out. “Besides, I don’t trust anyone else,” I say honestly. Jasper brings his hands to his eyes and rubs. He look
I should text him that I’ll be a tad late for our second session of therapy today. I wonder if a therapist ever had a client where the husband and brother have seen the private parts of the wife but it was to ensure protection of a child because an ex-lover and the father is plotting a murderous att
Renee’s POV Okay. I officially have no idea where I am. My GPS has taken me completely off any main roads, and away from any sort of civilization.I’ve checked the location Natalie has sent me at least twenty times and apparently it’s correct. I’m just glad my GPS is still connected to the interne
Consciousness creeps slowly throughout my being, bringing with it a spreading of pulsating pain. I groan. Big mistake. My head explodes with pain, my vision is instantly blinded by bursts of red and orange.“Oh Renee, you’re waking up!” A familiar voice squeaks causing bile to rise up in my throat f
He opens the glass window separating us and hands me a sack full of cash. It’s heavy like it’s filled with bricks and I sling it over my shoulder. Andrew follows me out the door, we ignore the concerned eyes glued to us as we leave.No one says a word. The only sound is the swooshing of a machine co
Eric’s POV “What is it?” Andrew asks picking up on my sudden shift in energy. Eric, Eric. Renee’s voice echoes in my head.“I hear Renee,” I stammer, I touch my head as though I’m touching her. “I can’t hear her,” I repeat. Andrew looks at me like I’m crazy and I know I might sound that way but thi
“How much do you want?” I ask, if it’s money they’re after then they can have it all. This time Dan bends down next to me. He takes his finger and lifts my chin so my eyes meet him. It looks like he has two heads and I struggle to decide which one to focus on.“We need Eric’s banking information and
Renee’s POV Eric’s father eyes widen in surprise. I blow some hair out of my face but it doesn’t do much and wet curls still stick to my sweaty forehead. I strain to listen to hear what the other person on the end of the line says.Something tells me, Eric’s father, what was his name again? Isn’t
“Meet me at our spot,” I tell Andrew before hanging up and throw the car into reverse. I hear the awe of children and cursing if parents as my car speeds out of the lot.Twenty minutes later, I spot Andrew at the woods where we meet when we need to talk privately. I explain my last interaction with
Eric’s POVIt’s happening again. It has to be. I crack my neck. I knew I was pushing her too hard. I jam my phone back in my pocket.It’s not like she couldn’t handle the pressure. She’s stronger than she gives herself credit for. But maybe it’s just me she couldn’t tolerate. That’s why she left bef
