A small figure stood in the middle of her living room, his bright eyes lighting up the moment he saw her.
“Mommy!”
Alex’s tiny legs moved quickly as he ran up to her, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist.
Nora’s heart softened. She instinctively knelt down and hugged him back, inhaling the familiar scent of
her son. But as warmth filled her chest, confusion crept in as well.
“Alex, why are you here?” she asked gently, pulling back slightly to look at him.
The little boy pouted. “Daddy’s busy. He said I should stay here for a few days.”
Nora’s expression tensed.
Arnold.
He had done it again.
Dropping Alex off without notice, without discussing it with her, as if she was nothing more than an emergency backup plan.
Her fingers twitched, irritation bubbling beneath the surface. She had told Arnold before… this wasn’t how co–parenting worked. Yet he never listened.
Just as she was about to sigh, Alex spoke again, his voice a mix of excitement and nervousness.
“Mommy, there’s a parent–teacher conference at school tomorrow. Can you come?”
She hesitated.
Her schedule was packed. The product launch was a huge deal, something she couldn’t afford to be
distracted from.
But then, she looked at Alex’s eager face, his small hands clutching the hem of her shirt.
She had been busy a lot lately. Too busy. She knew he missed her. She knew she had let work take priority too many times.
A quiet guilt settled over her.
“What time is it?” she finally asked.

Alex’s face lit up. “Tomorrow afternoon!”
Tomorrow afternoon.
Nora pursed her lips. It would be tight, but if she planned everything carefully…
She nodded. “Alright. I’ll take you.”
Alex grinned, hugging her again.
Nora exhaled softly, stroking his hair.
No matter what happened, she wouldn’t let her son feel neglected. She would make it work.
The launch party was scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m.
The timing would be tight, but since the two venues weren’t far apart, it wouldn’t be an issue.
Alex, however, wasn’t concerned about scheduling conflicts at all. He was far more focused on something
much more important… food.
His bright eyes shimmered with anticipation as he tugged at Nora’s sleeve. “It’s been a while since I’ve had
Mom’s soup,” he said, his voice filled with expectation. “Mom, I’d like to have creamy gumbo tomorrow.”
Nora let out a soft chuckle, gently stroking his head. He had always been like this… straightforward with his wants, knowing she would never refuse him.
“Alright,” she agreed. “I’ll make it for you.”
Satisfied, Alex beamed, already looking forward to it.
The next morning, Nora woke up early to gather the ingredients she needed for the gumbo.
Even as she chopped vegetables and prepared the broth, her mind remained occupied with her upcoming speech. She rehearsed the key points silently, her lips moving as she committed them to
memory.
Meanwhile, Alex was curled up on the couch, his small fingers tapping away on his iPad. Everything
seemed peaceful… until his screen suddenly lit up with an incoming call.
The name on the screen made Alex’s heart jump.

His eyes flickered toward the kitchen, where Nora was still busy preparing the meal. Carefully, he slipped off the couch, clutching the iPad close to his chest. He moved toward the balcony, his little feet making no

I still don’t see the regret from her husband and son No divorce yet I would like to see Nora and Cole hooking up together...
neverending story.....repeated same story lines....boring...
What a bad spot for the book to come to an end, I truly do hope there is more to come would be sad to not have a ending to this story........
This page has repeated same story lines that was already said.......
Iam kinda wondering if the writer may speak another language??? Cause iam noting that some of the words kind of seem like another language I could be wrong but every page has a spelling mistake it's making it hard to understand most of what is happening in the book....
Iam loving this book so far but it would have been much better if someone had prof read it 1st there is alot of spelling mistakes some of which I knew what was meant but some I have no clue at all....
Is there any more...
