“Yes.”
“So you’re going to walk out and what?”
“I’m going to go home and have a long chat with God and believe He’ll show me what to do next.”
“What about us?”
“There’s no us. Not like this. There’s us the business colleagues, but no us as a couple.” He kissed her on the forehead and started walking.
She grabbed his hand to stop him. “Sean, what are you doing?”
“Ky, please let go of my hand. It’s getting late and I need to check on Simon.”
“No, not until we settle this.”
“Sweetheart, I’m sorry. I mean Kyla, there’s nothing to settle. You said what you want or don’t want, and I’m cool with that.”
She stood still with her arms folded in front of her. “So what happens now? What about the Maldives?”

“Are you sure?”

“We’re still friends, but things will be different. Eventually, I’ll be seeing someone else and spending a lot of time with her.”
“What about us?”
“You’ll start seeing someone else who’s not looking to get married. You’ll be fine.”
“But what if I get sick or Winnie wants to see Simon?”
“I’ll check on you and we can work something out where Winnie and Simon can hang out occasionally. But the new man in your life will be there to help you and take care of you.”
“What if you get sick or hurt?”
“The new woman in my life will be there to help.”
“But she won’t…”
“Ky, it’s okay. Simon and I will be fine. Just like you and Winnie will be fine. Hey, we’ll see each other at church.” He saw the tears forming in her eyes. He looked at his watch. “Okay, it’s really late and Simon has probably left me a little treat I don’t want.” He kissed her forehead. “I’ll talk to you later.” He turned and started toward the door.
