I'm so relieved realising the next day is his turn to have Kai because that little guy really takes up all his time; he needs all the distraction to keep him busy while Cassie figures out their relationship, even if it's only for one week since Kai lives with each parent alternately.

Every morning he would wake up, get Kai ready, get him ready, then the three of us are off to school/office. Come evening, he'd pick me up before we go to the little boy's playschool to get him.

We'd cook dinner, sit and dine together, then start our bedtime routine; bath, storybook, bed. In that order.

He'd doze off as early as 8pm with Kai, only to wake up early in the morning to work his ass off in the gym downstairs.

The cycle repeats, until the following Monday when Kai returns to Lauren's.

I dread thinking I'll be alone with him again next week. Guess we'll have to deal with it one way or the other; the heartbreak.
