I said to the phone as I paced round my bedroom."But, sir. They really have proof that only half of the money was sent and not the full amount.""That is hogwash. You know what?

Butterflies spread out in my belly and nerves took over me.The sound in the other bedroom and the empty bed beside me told me that Anya is already up with Jaimie, and they are already preparing for church.Before I rented and paid for this small two-bedroom apartment online, I'd made inquires and found out a lot of things that made me know that this apartment is great for us.

Not always, I conceded.Seven years ago, I had a wife and a child. Today, I would have been taking them out.I signed deeply and pained at the thought of that. I might have faced my past and years might have passed, but it's never easy. I never got over their death. I never think I will.I just came to terms with the painful fact that they are no more.My phone started ringing and, of course my mother was calling. She seemed to be hell bent on playing matchmaker slash cupid. Heaven knows what she has in store for me this time.Mother means well, but she just doesn't understand. It's so hard for me to just pick up with another woman. And mother doesn'

Here, let me help you with that". I said and bent down to pick the ball which rolled under my car. I took the ball and gave it to him.The boy stared me in the eyes.

Tears ran down my cheeks and I quickly brushed them away as I walked through yet another session but couldn't find him again."Jaimie, baby. Please where are you? Don't do this to me!"
