“I don’t think so”

He was always tight–l*pped about the mother of his son. I didn’t know anything. Were they

married, then divorced? Were they just in a relationship? How long have they known each

other?

I doubt he will ever willingly give me the information I need to piece things together.

Besides, I didn’t want to cause him hurt. It looks like every time I mention her, either he

gets really pissed or really angry.

“That’s okay… I get it. A lot of the time, I prefer processing things on my own,” he pauses.

“But that doesn’t mean that I can’t help you with this,” he points at the small garden.

“Thank you,” I smile while he gets down on his knees.

I hand him a pair of gloves, and he follows my lead.

“What are the boys doing?” I ask.

“Playing video games… It honestly surprises me how close they’ve become. They’re

basically inseparable. I never even imagined this scenario in my wildest dreams, given

I frown at that. He can’t even bring himself to say his name. Why?

“Why do you hate him so much? Whatever happened between you two was years ago.

Shouldn’t you have

been able to get over it by now?” I ask him, referring to how he had a crush on Emma

back in high school.

He had been obsessed, just like me. While my obsession had been for Rowan, his had

been for Emma. Just like Rowan said, he had followed Emma around like a lost puppy. He

would write her love letters. Buy her flowers and leave them in her locker. He would also

buy her gifts. He really went above and beyond and that used to piss Rowan off to no end.

“It’s nothing,” he answers, but I know that he’s lying to me. There was something he

wasn’t telling me.

I choose to leave it at that instead of pushing it.

“Regardless, you have to set your differences aside. Our sons are best friends, so you’ll

have to see him. once in a while and you can’t go picking a fight with him every time.”

I make a mental note to have the same talk with Rowan. They both need to start acting

like adults.

“Think about what Gunner needs. This isn’t about you or what went down between you

and Rowan. This is about Gunner and Noah,” I add when he doesn’t say anything.

Thinking about Gunner brings a mental picture to mind. I try to push it, but to no avail. It

“Ava?” he calls my name, but it’s like I am in a trance.

“Emma,” her name sl*ps from my l*ps, as if it was forced out.

I feel it as Calvin stills next to me. If my memory didn’t convince me, then the way his

b*dy locked, did.

“I need to go.” I mumble, struggling to stand up.

Finally, I manage to get up. His hand on my arm stops me. I face him. He must have seen

my eyes. I’m not sure, and right now, I don’t care.

“You know,” he whispers. “You’ve figured out the truth.”

I nod my head as tears cloud my eyes. Without a word, knowing he will take care of Noah,
