“Hi Sam, I’m doing fine. I meant to call you and ask how you’re doing.”
“We’re doing great but. I want to keep you posted about a couple of things that pertain to my personal life. I need to know if they might have a negative impact on my shared custody of Roy.”
“Okay, then, I’m listening,” Andy replies.
“Well, I’m in a new and wonderful relationship. Unfortunately, Matthew surprised me at home the other night and met my new boyfriend in a rather awkward situation. Then things spiraled out of control and there was somewhat of a confrontation between them. When Matthew left, he was furious and upset.”
“I see,” Andy deliberated. “Is your new boyfriend a normative person?”
I chuckle shortly.
“I wouldn’t call him a normative person. He’s such a unique and wonderful man. He’s also very wealthy.”
“Okay,” Andy sounds pleased. “I don’t think there should be any problem if both of you can offer Roy a warm and supportive environment, especially if you two are serious.”
“He understands that Roy is an inextricable part of the deal, and he’s completely committed to both of us.”
“What matters most is Roy’s sense of stability. If that is the case, I think this could actually work in our favor.” Andy encourages me. “In any case, the court usually favors mothers. One of the main things Matthew claimed in his suit for custody was that you were financially unstable and that you didn’t have any support should you need any. The fact that your partner is a wealthy man strengthens our claim that Roy’s living conditions will stay intact, unlike Matthew has always claimed.”
“We’re even planning a future together,” I add. “Could that help me? There’s nothing that I want more than full custody, with an open-door policy, of course, as well as sharing weekends and holidays. Is that feasible?”
“Absolutely! If that’s indeed where your relationship is headed, it might change the whole picture. The court usually strives to maintain the minor’s sense of stability. You can ask for full custody. Are you sure your boyfriend supports this decision? It would be final. Does he understand the responsibility that it entails?”
“Of course! There’s nothing he would want more than to see me happy, and he certainly understands that Roy is my main priority and that I’d do anything in my power to prove it to him daily.”
“Has he already met Roy?” Andy inquires.
“Yes!” I smile as I recall our time together at the fair. “He likes him a lot,” I add. “It seems that they get along really well. He’s important to him just as I am. He’ll never hurt him intentionally. He understands the magnitude of his responsibility.”
“Great, then we’ve settled that I’ll update your custody demands and we’ll move forward. Undoubtably, this is all in Roy’s best interest. His natural place is with you.”
“I’m so happy!” I say excitedly. “I hope we succeed.”
“I’ll do everything I can,” Andy sounds alert and determined. “I’m very happy for you,” he adds.
“Me too!” I thank him for his time and hang up.
It’s hard for me not seeing Roy half of the time. I want him at my side, always. I want to know he’s safe and well-protected.
I text Avi that I’d love to have him for dinner at my place tonight. I have a couple of things to tell him, including some of my concerns.
He texts me back: “I’m absolutely starving for you AND your food. I’ll come around six.”
I smile from ear to ear. It’s perfect.
I cook all day and prepare the perfect meal while swaying to the sounds of the music in the background. Everything is ready, smells and looks delicious. I smile, pleased with myself.
‘And now, for the artistic part,’ I laugh out loud to myself, take a shower and get ready for my man. I put on a burgundy dress, with a turtleneck and a deep slit on the right side. I go for the sensual yet restrained look. I tie up my hair and leave a couple of strands out. I wear some light makeup and put on heels with two white straps. Everything is ready! The table is set, and I await him.
There’s a knock at the door. I open it and, as I look at him, passion starts coursing through my veins. He swiftly walks in.
“How I’ve missed your pretty face,” he takes me into his arms and embraces me, smells my skin and takes a deep breath. “Gorgeous! You’re stunning! I’m speechless. I’m the luckiest man alive,” he kissed me lovingly.
“Me too,” I grin widely. “I’ve missed you so much!” I declare. “But I want to talk to you tonight. There are a couple of things I’d like us to discuss. We’ll have to wait a little longer,” I hug him, and he faintly smiles back.
“Go ahead.”
“Let’s have dinner first,” I take him to his seat. I serve him my deliciously mouthwatering dishes, pour us both some white wine into crystal flute glasses that I’ve always used for special occasions. We clink our glasses together.
