KATHRYN'S POV

I did not stop.

Because if I stopped I would have to think about my feelings. I was not ready for that right now.

I kept talking. My voice became colder. "You want to talk about knowing things?" I said. "You want to act like you were just unlucky like things just did not work out at the time?"

I shook my head.

    KATHRYN'S POVThe call came in the morning. I was sitting by the living room window trying to read some papers Iris's lawyer had left for me. Then I saw the name. Mrs. Mayers. My fingers just froze.For a second I just stared at the screen.My first thought was to ignore the call.After everything that happened I didn't really want to talk to her. I had been in court, with her standing by her son questioning him. I didn't see the point.Something made me hesitate.Maybe I was curious. Maybe I was just tired. Maybe I didn't care anymore.So I answered."Hello."There was a pause before she spoke. "Kathryn."Her voice sounded different. The usual confidence was gone. She sounded more human."I do not have the right to ask this, " she said with caution. "But can we meet?"I frowned. My body got stiff."I do not think that is an idea.""I get why you would say no."She did not. She kept pushing. She just accepted my no. That made me think again."I'm not asking you to come to my home,”

    ANNA POVJacob turned around. His eyes looked right at me. "Anna " he said, his voice calm. Calm. "What are you doing here?"I did not even think before I answered him because my voice had already taken over everything inside me.I said "I should be asking you the thing,” and I stepped fully into the room now refusing to stay at the threshold like I was the one intruding.I looked at Jacob. I said, "What the hell is Celine doing here?"The words landed heavy, sharp, and real. I saw the flicker in Jacob's expression before he masked it again.My chest. Fell too fast and I could feel my pregnancy, my emotions, everything pulling against each other like I was being stretched thin from the inside.I continued, "Do not tell me Kathryn is here too what in the world am I supposed to call this Jacob obsession or're you just"Then Jacob cut in his voice suddenly louder not angry exactly but sharp enough to slice through my words mid-air.He said "Anna, be silent.”I was not listening anymore.

    ANNA POVThe drive to the Mayers’ estate was quiet. It was not peaceful though. The silence between us always felt like something waiting to happen not somethingI looked out the window. Watched the city lights blur together. My reflection was faint. Broken up in the glass. I put my hand on my stomach without thinking about it.After a while, Jacob said, "You are really quiet." He was still looking at the road in front of us."I am feeling tired,” I said to Jacob.I did not feel like talking because it felt like it would start another fight with Jacob. I just did not have the energy for another argument with Jacob.Jacob nodded at me. He seemed to accept what I said about being tired. His fingers on the steering wheel got a bit tighter for a moment before he relaxed his hands again.When we got to the Mayers estate it was already awake and lively. The Mayers estate always seemed to be awake at night. It was like the night had its rules, at the Mayers estate.Mrs. Mayers was standing a

    ANNA POVThe words he said were simple. They felt really heavy. I turned around slowly because I was not sure if I heard him right or if my mind was making things up."Come home " I said again to see if it sounded real. It was like I was testing the words to see if they would break if I repeated them.He nodded, like he already knew what he wanted."We do not need to keep living like this " he said, his voice getting a little softer, a little more convincing. "We can fix this Jacob and I can go back to how things were with us."I almost laughed,. I stopped myself."How things were?" I repeated, taking a step back because standing still felt like giving up. "Jacob things were never simple with us. You just got better at pretending they were."Rita cleared her throat like she knew things were getting tense. Neither of us looked at her.Jacob watched me for a moment then he spoke, his voice again a little different now a little more careful."I am not asking for perfection " he said. "I

    ANNA POVThe afternoon had been calm. That should have warned me it was not going to last. I stood in the kitchen with Rita. She chopped vegetables for lunch. The smell of garlic and herbs filled the room. Sunlight spilled across the marble counters.Rita talked about a neighbor. The neighbor had lost her dog. Then she accused everyone of stealing it. I laughed. It sounded ridiculous.Rita said, "She printed missing posters before she even checked her backyard." She shook her head. She stirred a pot.I laughed again. I folded my arms. "That sounds like her " I said. "She makes her problems. Then she expects everyone else to help her."Rita pointed a spoon at me. "See? That's why I like talking to you, Anna. You understand people." Before I could answer the doorbell rang.Rita looked toward the hallway. "That must be the delivery " she said. "I ordered some groceries." I pushed away from the counter. "Keep cooking " I told her. "I'll get it."I walked through the hallway. I opened the

    IRIS POVThe moment Kathryn stopped trying to pull from me I felt the fight leave her body although she still looked really exhausted and that exhaustion worried me more than her anger ever could.She stood in front of me for a second without a word, my hands still holding hers, and I realized that neither of us was arguing anymore. We were just done fighting.We were tired of everything.Tired of Jacob.Tired of all the secrets.Tired of losing all the time.Most of all tired of surviving one thing only to go into another.Finally, Kathryn looked down. Let out a long sigh.It was not like she was agreeing with me.It was more like she was accepting reality.Not Jacob's reality,. Ours."I will stay," she said quietly.Those words were small. They made me feel a little better for the first time all night.Her eyes went to the packed suitcase on the bed and her face got tight again."Not because you think everything will be okay," she said quickly. "Not because I think this will work ou
