Amelia’s POV I sobbed inwardly as I blurted out my feelings for Eddie in Blair’s presence. She only stared at me in silence and then hugged me, lending me her shoulder to cry upon. I moved away from her embrace when I was done.I felt embarrassed and hated the fact that I had cried over Eddie when he had not even loved me enough to fight for me when it truly mattered. He had moved on with his life and had gone on to have a wife and a beautiful girl. A girl he had named Chloe. It hurt even worse because we had once discussed having kids and he knew that Chloe was one of the names I had had my heart set upon for when we had kids.And yet, we never did. I thought sadly.

Crying over someone who is doing so much better than I am. Get a grip, Amelia!I ruminated over the apology he had given me

Amelia’s POVI had no idea why, but it felt like home to me. Actually, that was untrue, I knew why I had immediately felt a sense of peace wash over me the moment I stepped into the room. I tried to lie to myself that it was the plush carpeting that felt like I was sinking my feet into sand or that it was the beautiful reading corner that made my body itch with excitement to use it and fingers tremble with the urge to hold a sweet-smelling book. However, my lips curled themselves into a wry smile as I grudgingly admitted to myself that my strange comfort was not due to any of what I had listed or the other luxuries of the room or house, but…It's because of that memory, isn't it?
