“Sorry, I’m not in the right state to be dating right now. You’re a good person. I hope you understand. :) –Es” I hit send, and I let my phone sit on my desk for a second before I start returning to my work. To my surprise, however, Daniel unexpectedly calls me very quickly. I hesitate but slowl

“What the hell? Why can’t you represent me? Do you think I can’t afford to pay you because I assure you that you’re well within my budget.” I feel blind-sighted at this wrench being thrown into the system. Why are they denying me after just one conversation? “It’s not that,” the older gentleman

“Come see for yourself, Esme,” he sneers, opening the door wider to join them in the house. Disgusted, I brush past the two of them into the house I’d put years into. Immediately I see a change; my old study I’d spent hours working in has already been turned into a hot-pink nursery. “Wow, couldn

“I am a divorce lawyer, yes,” Daniel says as he bites into his hamburger. We’re sitting in the middle of a restaurant during the dinner rush, having this conversation after I’ve been stressing all day. Daniel is enjoying his hamburger and fries, but I barely touch my own burger. Anxiety has been m

I blink a few times, looking around to make sure I didn’t dream it. But the noise comes again, and I identify it as the sound of my little neighbors. Tris and Bea. I rub the sleep from my eyes and head to the door to make sure everyone is okay. When I see the sight before me, I can’t help bu

I feel a streak of embarrassment flush my face. God—the things these kids know and notice these days are crazy. And coming from the mouth of a toddler! I never would have imagined Tris knows what breasts are, let alone that her father was looking at mine. “It’s just an adult versus child misunders

Guilt begins to engulf me as I watch Natalie approach me. I know I’ve done nothing wrong, yet here I am, with red cheeks and an alarm going off in my head. Why do I feel as if I’ve been caught red-handed, like a child’s hand in the cookie jar? “What?” I question her. “Oh, I k

I can hear Derek’s voice next to my ear, but it’s very difficult to focus on it. The world around me is glassy, and I find my head swimming—no pun intended. It’s not until a few seconds have passed that I notice what Derek is shouting. It’s my name. “Esme! Can you hear me?” H

I sigh. “If you can’t issue the order, then legally, there’s nothing you can do. So even though he’s been harassing me, showing up at my house, all of this? He’s still able to get away with it.” “Bullshit,” he sneers. I get into everything, explaining Ryan’s appearance earlier in the week, the w

Working from home is a little easier than just getting through the day. I got permission to stay out of the office for the rest of the week. Getting lost in the information and phone calls is better than brooding over my ex. Friday is busy, but having taken time off, I blow through all my notes, c

Even I’m not this heartless. How could I ever want that for anyone, even for such selfish people like Melinda and Ryan? “Ryan left me because I lost the baby. I went to the hospital. When he got there and I told him what had happened…” she bites her lip, tears falling down her face. She crosses he

“Why the hell are you calling me?” I snarl. “I’m going to call the cops, because this is against the fucking restraining order.” “I know, but please don’t, though!” She sounds desperate and out of breath. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard my cousin beg before. Kind of odd. “What do you want?” “I

My heart yearns for each word on my screen. God, am I just a complete idiot? I keep doing this to him, trying to make the right decisions when they only make me feel hollow inside. Maybe I should have him come over. Discuss everything. Actually have a real conversation instead of pushing what I wa

The past few days have been hazy for me. Trying not to get lost in the daze of emotions has been tough. Derek called and left a message while I took a nap one day. “Stay home, focus on your health. I’ve cleared it with all the appropriate channels.” I’m going to use up all of my sick and vacatio

The police have been through the apartment and have spoken to us individually. While Lily and Annie went inside, I’ve been out here. I can’t move off this stoop. I’m frozen to the spot, and even if I wanted to move inside, I don’t know if my body would let me. “Esme?” I look up at one of the det

He’s the one who’s saved me more times over than I can count. This apartment, at the pool, with my trauma, all of it. Without Derek, I would have completely fallen apart; unraveled in the office or my kitchen floor. His door remains shut next door. No movement, and no Derek. I don’t know what’

“How did you even find out about this?” I demand, so lost how this is even possible. “So, you don’t even bother to deny it?” He scowls. “Three people know I’m pregnant; how could you possibly know?” He glares at me, no answer now that I’ve called him out. To my horror, my brain starts to put t
