Decisions I made No Amusement
I stood there staring at Jack like he had personally betrayed me.He had the decency to look almost apologetic.Almost.But there was still the faintest hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth, and that alone made me want to throw something at him.“Yes, sir?” I repeated, turning slowly toward him.Jack lifted one shoulder in the world’s most innocent shrug.“What did you want me to say?”I stared at him.“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe literally anything else?”Paul barked out a laugh from across the kitchen.Dad looked at him.Paul immediately straightened his face.“Nothing.”Mom was already moving into full mother mode, which meant she had decided the next ten minutes were hers and no one else’s. She crossed to the cabinet, pulled out glasses, filled one with water, then turned and handed it to me like I was five years old and needed juice after a nightmare.“Drink this.”I too
Decisions I made Dad
Mom hit the kitchen first.She came around the corner in leggings and a cashmere wrap thrown over whatever she’d worn on the plane, hair half-fallen from its clip, face pale and exhausted and already wet with tears.The second she saw me, she made a sound I never wanted to hear again.Not a scream.Not even a cry.Just that sharp, broken inhale mothers make when they’ve spent an entire flight imagining the worst.“Lela.”I barely got out of the chair before she was across the kitchen, arms around me so tightly I almost lost my balance. She smelled like perfume and airplane air and the peppermint gum she always chewed when she was nervous.“I’m okay,” I said immediately, because of course that was the first thing out of my mouth.Mom pulled back just enough to cup my face in both hands and look me over like she was checking for damage.“Don’t tell me you’r
Decisions I made The Truth
I stared at Paul across the kitchen island and immediately knew there was no good answer to that question.Because the truth?The truth made me look stupid.Weak.Embarrassing.Like one of those women everyone swears they’d never be—the ones who keep too much to themselves, make excuses for too long, and wait until things are bad before admitting just how bad they’ve gotten.I looked down at the table instead of at him.“I don’t know.”Paul gave a short, humorless laugh.“You don’t know?”“No.”“Lela.”I sighed and rubbed both hands over my face.“I don’t know what you want me to say.”“The truth would be a good place to start.”Jack stayed quiet beside me, but I could feel him listening. Not in a nosy way. Just there. Present. Waiting to understand the pieces I hadn’t given him yet.I folded my arms over my chest and leaned back in the chair.“It didn’t happen all
Decisions I made Long Night
Paul didn’t wait for anyone to answer him.The second he stepped away from the table with his phone to his ear, the entire kitchen seemed to change.The room got colder.Quieter.Like the text message had sucked all the air out of it.I stayed frozen in my chair, staring at nothing while Jack stood beside me with my phone still in his hand.**I know you’re home. We need to talk.**I could still see the words in my head.Over and over.I know you’re home.Not *Can we talk?*Not *Please call me.*Not *I miss you.*Just that.A statement.A warning.A way of letting me know he was still there, still pushing, still trying to get inside my life no matter how many times I shut the door.My hands were shaking again.Not as badly as before.Worse.Because the adrenaline from the break-in had nowhere to go now. It had settled into somet
Decisions I made The Text
For a second, nobody said anything.The silence was so complete I could hear the kitchen clock ticking over the refrigerator.Jack stayed perfectly still beside me.Not stiff.Not panicked.Just very, very still.I looked at Paul.“What do you mean he was asking about Jack?”Paul leaned back in the chair, exhaustion and irritation written all over his face.“I mean exactly what I said. Chris has been asking around about the guy you’ve been seeing.”My stomach dropped.“How does he even know I’m seeing someone?”Paul gave me a flat look.“Lela.”I stared back at him.“No. Seriously. How?”He folded his arms across his chest.“You think you’ve been hiding this?”I blinked.“Yes?”Jack actually laughed under his breath.I turned to glare at
Decisions I made Tears
I cried harder than I meant to.Not dramatic sobbing.Not the kind where you collapse onto the floor and can’t breathe.Just that awful, quiet kind of crying where the tears won’t stop and your chest hurts and you’re trying so hard to pull yourself together that it almost makes it worse.Jack didn’t say much.Thank God.He just held me.One arm around my shoulders, the other resting at the back of my head, keeping me tucked against his chest while I stood there in the middle of my parents’ kitchen crying in an oversized t-shirt and pajama shorts at three in the morning.Belle stayed pressed against my legs like she was personally offended that I was upset.After a minute, Jack guided me toward one of the kitchen chairs and sat me down.Then he disappeared for all of thirty seconds and came back with a wet paper towel and the box of tissues from the powder room.I laughed through my tears the second I saw the paper towel.He looked at me carefully.“What?”“That is the most dad thing I
Decisions I made The Question
By the time dinner plates were cleared, I was finally starting to feel like myself again.The pasta had helped.The bread had definitely helped.And the fact that Jack had spent most of dinner making me laugh instead of making me relive the humiliation of the night before had helped even more.I wa
Decisions I made My Favorite Restaurant
By Sunday afternoon, I was still paying for every bad decision I had made the night before.My head was pounding.My stomach was still a little uneasy.And every time I thought about vomiting in Jack’s car, I wanted to crawl under a blanket and stay there for the rest of my life.I never got that d
Decisions I made Meeting the Friends
After my sister finally left with the kids, the house became quiet again.I sat by the pool for a few minutes replaying the conversation.Part of me felt guilty.That's what happened when you spent most of your life putting everyone else first.The moment you finally said no, somehow you ended up f
Decisions I made The First Kiss
The water fight eventually slowed down.Mostly because we were both laughing too hard to keep splashing each other.I floated near the deep end, trying to catch my breath.Jack wasn't much better.His hair was soaked.His shirtless shoulders glistened beneath the pool lights.And the grin on his fa
