Abby's POV I stared at my laptop screen, absentmindedly, my mind reeling. I had a bit of work to round up on before leaving for California tomorrow morning but so far, it wasn't easy.“Miss, would you like anything else?” A waiter asked, a polite smile on her face.I forced a simple smile up my lips. “I'm alright, thank you.”Was it so obvious now that I no longer went by Mrs but now Miss? The divorce papers hadn't been finalized yet but after speaking to my lawyer last night, I discovered it would be in a couple more days.Gathering all my things together, I stuff them into my purse, pay at the check-out desk and head outside to my car.It was a warm sunny day in the city of New York —perfect time to go on a walk or sit at the park.Just as I had gotten into my car, my phone rings. Sarah.“Hey sis, guess who's finally home,” she says, breaking into a sing-song. A light smile forms across my lips. “That's amazing, I'm so proud of you,” I teased and she scoffs. “You make it sound l

Abby's POVAs much as I didn't like to admit it, there was a part of me that was waiting for Anthony to call me but after three days, I let the idea fizzle away.“He still hasn't called you? What a jerk,” Sarah says, reclining into her seat as she sips her drink.“Can we not talk about Anthony right now?” I ask, not in the mood to be reminded that he'd stood me up. “We could go look for his house and demand answers,” Sarah suggests.I narrow my eyes on her. The scary thing about Sarah was that she could do it. She was a daredevil, unlike me— I liked to play it safe.Today, we had decided to head down to the beach. Seated at Sandy's Booth, talking over our glasses of mango tropical smoothies— it seemed like the perfect day and place to unwind. “How's Mike doing?” Sarah asks and I shoot her a look.“Don't you have anything better to do than interrogating me?” I ask, taking off my shades.“What? You're the one with the interesting love life. I'm just here to watch,” she replies with a

Abby wasn't sure what hurt the most— the way Anthony had pushed her off him like they both didn't want it, the fact that he had ignored all her questions or that Sarah was right about him. “She still hasn't said anything all day, it's almost like she's gone mute.” Her mother had said one day. Five days, that was how long it'd been since the embarrassing incident back at Anthony's place. He still hadn't attempted to reach out or at least render an apology. “Are you okay?” Abby's mother, Mindy, asked, as she hurried into the kitchen. “I need someone to help me get a couple of things from the grocery store.” Abby rolled her eyes. She clearly wasn't in the mood to run errands but she also wasn't going to turn down the offer for some fresh air. “I promised the church I'd bring some of my home baked cookies tomorrow for the picnic we're having,” Mindy said, securing an apron around her waist. Abby frowned. “Since when did you start to go to church?” “Wver since that new pastor show

Chapter Seven Anthony didn't get what the fuss was all about. He watched as Abby hurried moved around, throwing all her clothes on.She shot him a glare and yelled. “I'll be outside in a minute Sarah.”Throwing on the easiest thing she could find— a button up shirt— she hurried to the door, smoothened her hair down and cracked the door open just a little bit.Sarah glanced down at her outfit and frowned when her eyes rose to see Abby's messy hair. “Are you okay? You look like you got into a nasty fight,” she said, pointing out the red markings on her sister's neck.Abby slapped Sarah's hands off her and tugged her collar up. “It's nothing, I was busy cleaning up my room.”The look on Sarah's face showed she wasn't buying the lies. Soon Mindy was at the door too, wondering why Abby was hiding behind the door. “Girl, would you open the door already?” Mindy asked and pushed the door open. Abby's weight shifted and the door swung open revealing Anthony who had only managed to throw on s
