Is this funny? Cause this is funny to me.

"Sit." He gestured vaguely at the chair across from his desk and pulled it another book.

I nodded and sat…because my legs were about to give out anyway. The leather was cold against my thighs, I folded my hands in them to stop them from shaking.

He didn't say anything else and just began flipping through a file, his grey eyes scanning the pages like I wasn't even in the room.

The awkwardness was unbearable.

I have no idea what to say or do. Lia alread

    I woke up to a white ceiling I didn't recognize and a dull ache spreading through my entire body. The room was dim, the curtains drawn. I groaned and turned my head slowly, my stiff neck hurting, and saw Dante sitting in a chair by the window, his elbows on the chair arms watching me."You're awake," he said.“She's awake.” An older woman appeared over me, with a stethoscope around her neck."Ms. Bishop, I'm glad you're awake. I'm Helen."She walked to the side of the bed and checked the IV bag, then my pulse, then shone a small light in my eyes. I winced and turned away."You had a severe case of food poisoning," she said, making notes on her clipboard. "The toxin we found in your system was high enough to cause organ damage if left untreated. You're lucky someone found you when they did."My stomach turned. "What was it?""We're not certain, but the lab results suggest something spoiled, possibly dairy left out too long, mixed with a bacterial agent. It's rare to see levels this hig

    I woke up the next morning and lay there staring at the ceiling for a long time before I finally reached for my phone. I just wanted to spend the rest of the month in my bed. Anything other than that is trash.But I have work to go to, and Lily's Disneyland time is due. One more day and she's going to lose interest and start asking for a trip to Paris.She doesn't even know where or what Paris is.I sat up and rubbed off the sleep crust from my eyes before typing in a text.If you're both free today after work, we're taking Lily to Disneyland.I stared at the words for a second, then added another line.It's fine if you're not.I set the phone down and dragged myself out of bed. I quickly freshened up and changed into suitable work clothes with a coat and longer socks for the cold.You can never go wrong with the 2000s work fit. The morning air was cold, and the sky grey and heavy, like any second now it could rain. The thoughts of just staying home until it starts to rain then send

    I finally peeled myself off the door and dragged myself to the bathroom. The shower was quick, just enough to wash off the day, and I stood under the spray longer than I needed to, letting the hot water beat against my shoulders until my skin turned pink. When I got out, I wrapped myself in a towel and stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. Dark circles under my eyes looking as big as my fist, my hair damp, and a… small bruise on my collarbone that I don't remember getting. Is that hickey? I have no idea.I quickly dried off, and pulled on a pair of sweats and an old t-shirt, and made my way, barefoot, to the kitchen.I shoved the leftover spaghetti into the microwave and pressed the button. I waited around until it beeped and quickly pulled it out and carried it to the table. I sat down with my phone in one hand and a fork in the other while checking the garden cosmetic product launch event for inspiration on my phone.The door opened."You're back so fast—" I start

    I stepped into the quiet hallway of the hospital. The nurses at the station nodded at me as I walked past, and I nodded back, hurrying toward Lily's room on autopilot.I stopped at the doorway and looked in about to yell out surprise but paused when I saw that she was asleep, her small body curled under the white blanket, her stuffed rabbit tucked under her arm. The IV line ran from the bag to her hand, and the heart monitor beeped softly in the corner. I stood there for a moment, watching her chest rise and fall.She looked peaceful.I gently shut the door and rushed to go find the doctor, but when I got to his office I saw someone else sitting in front of him.“Good afternoon, doctor.” The doctor looked up and smiled at me. “How are you doing Ms Bishop. I didn't think you'd stop by today.”Dr. Wright took the cup of coffee served to him and took a sip before raising his head. "Eva? I was hoping I'd catch you after here."I took off my bag, sat down and gently placed it back on my

    I walked back to my office, and threw the bag on the desk like it was contaminated.It was actually, with Blair's stupidity.The silver paper caught the light from the window, mocking me, I scoffed at it and dropped to my sit to attend to my persistent pinging phone.I could already tell who it was before swiping it open.JACE: So you're working for my brother now? That's low, even for you.JACE: You really have no shame, do you? JACE: I bet he doesn't know about us, or Lily.The cock sure wasted no time to crow. It's not even noon yet. She probably texted him the second I walked out of the office, her fingers flying across her phone screen while she sat there with her perfectly crossed legs and her perfectly wrapped gifts.And the idiot just showed how much of an idiot he was.About us? Was there ever an us?Do I look like I care in anyway an us? I'd do anything to make myself forget that I ever dated and almost married him. Anything. Who knew what shit I would've been in.I angril

    Blair's eyes widened the moment she recognized me, her perfectly sculpted eyebrows rising just enough to show she was caught off guard. She set down the gift box she'd been holding and slowly stood up, her cream dress falling in soft folds around her legs."What are you doing here?" she asked.I cleared my throat and held the file tighter to my chest. "I work here."She blinked as she processed the information. Her gaze swept over my outfit, the file in my hands, and looked behind me at the office I just walked out of. Now that she's seen me there was no way she wouldn't tell Jace. She lived for this, for having something to hold over someone's head, and I had just handed her a weapon wrapped in a neat little bow in her favorite color.I turned and walked to Dante's desk and set the file down on the corner of his desk, straightened the stack of papers, and turned to leave. He wasn't in yet, which was fine to me, I didn't need him to be. I just needed his signature, and that could wai

    A soft knock came at the door and a second later a nurse appeared with a tray of mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, and a cup of applesauce.“Figured you might be hungry,” she said, setting the tray on the bedside table. “Doctor Wright asked me to bring it over.”I didn't realize I was hungry until

    Kids got fevers. Lily had them all the time, runny nose, cough, high temperature but they disappeared after a night of cartoons, orange juice and some medication. But why wasn't this one leaving.Was it because of the fall?While Chloe pressed Mira for answers that night as to who her one night st

    I pushed the apartment door shut and leaned against it for a second, letting the cool wood press against my back. My ribs ached from the movement and so did my head. The conversation with Jace had drained whatever energy the hospital had left me with.From Lily's room, I could hear water running an

    I lowered myself onto the couch slowly, one hand braced against the armrest, while Chloe fluffed pillows behind my back and Mira disappeared into the kitchen to make tea.Lily was already in her room, coloring at her small desk, Mira had bribed her with a new pack of crayons to give me a few minute
