I didn't want to keep thinking about her, but I didn't know how to stop. As I arrived at my mother's, with some chocolate treats and a new teddy bear, I took in deep breath and opened the door.
"Daddy!!" Chloe exclaimed as she ran to me.
"Hey there princess," I smiled as I put down the things I had bought and embraced her before lifting her up.
"You're back from your trip. Unlike you, you didn't call to say you were on your way," Mother said as she walked to me with open arms, "How's my big boy doing?"
"It's a pleasure to see you too, Mom," I said as I accepted her embrace.
I needed the company more than ever.
"You got me another teddy," Chloe said as she looked at the stuffed toy.
"Yeah, do you like it?" I asked as I put her down to let her pick up the gift.
"I love it," she said as she picked up the teddy and gave it a squeeze. "Are you going to work now?"
"No, I'll be spending the night here," I replied.
Her eyes lit up and she began to jump in excitement. "Yayyyy! We'll sleep in the same room!"
"Whatever you say my angel," I smiled.
She started to giggle.
"Now why don't you take your chocolate treats and head to the room, while I talk to Daddy?" Mother suggested.
"Okay," she picked up the treats and started going toward the kitchen. She stopped and turned around to look at me, then blew me a kiss and continued walking.
The kiss helped a lot with my aching heart.
"Alright, what happened in London?" Mother asked.
"What? What are you talking about?" I raised a brow.
"Don't play dumb with me. You have the same look you did when Selina died," she said as she crossed her arms.
The door opened and Ian walked in; he looked displeased.
"What happened to you?" he asked.
"What? I was about to ask you the same thing, you look awful," I shot back.
"It's just woman troubles," he said as he made his way to Mom and hugged her.
He was always a Mama's boy. But not in the annoying way.
"So, what's wrong with you? Did you visit Selina's grave?" he asked.
"No," I replied, "Nothing is wrong, really."
The both of them stared at me with blank expressions. Waiting for me to give in. I broke.
"I had my heart broken," I said as I walked into the living room and took a seat.
"You what?" Mom asked.
"I said, I had my heart broken," I repeated as I rubbed my hands together.
