The next morning, she woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day by it's horn or whatever it was that the saying was. She went about her morning routine, feeling more energized than usual. When she sat down at her desk to start her work, she felt a pang of disappointment that she wasn't going to see Jacob that day. But then she remembered that he had given her his number and she could text him whenever she wanted. That thought made her smile. She opened her laptop and started working, feeling more motivated than usual. It was like she had a new lease on life, all thanks to a single evening with a certain someone.Ethan and the body guards had gone for some job and she knew she had to talk to Ethan when he got back because he seemed so busy these days that it was hard to catch him at home to have a conversation. She soon started looking at plane tickets to France, she wanted to leave quickly because it had started to feel like Florida was closing up on her and she needed to
That was why she knew she had needed to talk to him, he opened up chapters that she though I were closed permanently. He was smart and he was a really asset and he always wanted the best for her all the time and it was amazing how they're friendship had grown since the divorce. Sometimes it was rocky cause of the residual feelings of being married for three years. Even though they had not been in love, they had still been each other's companion for sometime so it was just natural to have some kind of bond. She wondered if she could convince Ethan to let Jacob off the job so he could see no other option than to come with her but that would be so manipulative so she wasn't going to do it.After her conversation with Ethan, she went back to her room and started packing up her things but she first of all cancelled her flight because Ethan had offered her one of his private jets for her travel. He was making everything easier and she was grateful. As she packed up her things, she wonder
Now that Kimberly was gone and the house was relatively empty again. Ethan's sadness started creeping in again. He missed Ava terribly and he did not think he could only just survive by himself now that no one was there to make him feel something. He just felt numb. Everyday was the same. He woke up, got ready, went to work and returned late in the night. He was tired of doing the same shit everyday and he needed a change in scenery but he had no where to go to find peace.On one particularly frustrating evening, he called up on his private investigator turned friend, Jeff. Jeff had always had a funny way of providing solutions to problems and Ethan placed his bet that he was the one person that could cheer him up. They talked for a bit, catching up on each other's lives. Eventually, Jeff started teasing Ethan about being single again, and Ethan felt a little annoyed by the comments. Jeff noticed this and quickly changed the subject not before saying."You're really not yourself w
As he arrived at the hotel, he was greeted by friendly staff who helped him check in and showed him to his room. The room was spacious and had a balcony with a view of the ocean. He put his things down and decided to go for a walk on the beach. As he walked along the sand, he felt the stress of his life back home melting away. He breathed in the salty air and listened to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. He sat down on the sand and watched the sunset. He felt a sense of peace wash over him as he watched the sun disappear over the horizon.The next few days were filled with exploration and relaxation. He spent his mornings swimming in the ocean and his afternoons wandering around the local markets. He sampled the local cuisine and met some of the friendly locals. He felt like he was truly on vacation, and he was enjoying every minute of it. As he got to know the island and its people, he felt a deeper connection to the place. He started to think that maybe he could
Life was pretty much going well for Ava. She had gotten a new job,moved into a bigger house and her therapy sessions were really paying off in all aspect of her life and the hole that leaving Ethan had created was no longer as painful. She was learning how to live with it. She found herself thinking about him most days and when the incident with Kimberly had happened at the park, thoughts of him were even more frequent.She remembered the last time she had heard from him. It had been one afternoon, as she was sitting at her desk, she felt her phone vibrate. She picked it up and saw that she had a text message from an unknown number. She opened it and saw that it was from Ethan. Her heart skipped a beat as she read the message. It said, "Hey Ava, I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for everything that happened between us. I know I hurt you and I hope you can forgive me." She sat there, frozen, not sure what to say. She had never expected to hear from him
She got out of the tent and took in the view of the forest around her. The morning was beautiful, and the trees were covered in dew. She took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air. Then she noticed something else. There were footprints in the mud. They were small and delicate, like a child's footsteps. She followed them, curious about where they were leading. They led her to a clearing, where she saw something she never expected to see. A little girl, about five years old, was sitting in the middle of the clearing. She was dressed in a white dress, and her hair was tied back in a braid. She was staring at the ground, and she didn't seem to notice Ava. Ava approached her slowly, not wanting to startle her. "Hello" she said, her voice soft. The little girl looked up at her, and smiled. "Hello" she said, her voice small and sweet. "What are you doing out here?" Ava asked, curious. "I'm waiting for my mommy" the little girl said, her eyes wide and innocent. "Oh" Ava said, feeling a
On their way to the tent, Rose's mother suddenly appeared and Rose screamed and ran towards her."Mummy! Mummy!" She jumped on her and the woman lifted her up with a smile on her face as she plastered kisses on the little girl's face. Ava studied the woman, she was very beautiful but she had an uncanny look to her that Ava could not place her hands on. Her feet was bare of any foot wear and the white sundress she was wearing was stained with dried mud.She saw Rose say something to her and then point at her direction and Ava smiled and wave at the woman who returned the smile as she started on her way towards her and Alistair who was standing some kilometer in front of her."Thank you so much for taking care and watching over my baby" she dropped Rose down on the floor and took Ava's hands in hers and the first thing Ava noticed was how cold they were even when it was relatively warm outside."Oh it was my pleasure. She is an angel" Ava said, looking down at Rose and ruffling her ha
When she got home, she immediately went in and when the kids saw her they ran to give her a hug."Mummy is back!" Jane shouted and Jason seconded her scream with a louder one."Hey my babies, how are you both doing?" She asked as they walked into the living room."We're fine mom" Jason spoke for the both of them."How was your camping?" Jane asked and Ava sighed."It was good enough as my first experience but I'm not sure I would be going back anytime soon" she said and they both laughed."Was it that bad?" Caroline, her aunt asked as she came out if the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel and Ava smiled at her."You have no idea" she said and Caroline immediately knew she had a bad story to tell her about Alistair.She dropped the towel she was using to clean her hands on the dining table and then walked to the living room and sat down."Hey kids, your mom is very tired from her camping and we need to discuss something important so she can go rest so go play with your toys okay?"
