I tried to start right the next day. I’ve got a lot on my plate, but at least I can scratch off confronting my husband from my

1st

Last night, I thought staying away from him would clear my head. It turns out that making decisions when I was with him was much easier.

I had breakfast with Mom and Caleb just like yesterday, and now, I was sitting in the driver’s seat of my car, not a shadow of Nana Lucy lurking anywhere.

My phone chimed. It was a message from Beckett.

‘Have a nice day, baby girl, he said, adding a blushing and heart emoji in the end.

It made me smile. I had never thought Beckett knew how to use that heart emoji when I started working for him.

After shooting him a reply, I put my car into drive, feeling nostalgic as I sat behind the wheel. It hadn’t been long since I was opposing Beckett’s gesture of buying me a car. How long ago was that? Now my wedding ring and engagement ring sat heavily on my left hand.

I headed to Mentgomery’s, taking deep breaths in and out before I slid out of the car, my messenger bag slinging heavily on my shoulder. I was still earlier than most employees, greeting Joyce as I passed by her in the lobby.

Diving into my usual routine, I cleaned Siobhan’s office, making sure everything was in place when she arrived. The coffee maker had just finished dripping when she arrived.

“Good morning!” she greeted, her red blouse complementing her high cheekbones.

“Good morning.” I retorted, trailing behind her to her office with two cups of coffee.

She set her bag down, turned on her computer, then picked up her cup of coffee, moaning as she sipped it down. “God. I never thought I would miss your coffee, Andi.”

I giggled, seuling down on the chair in front of her desk. “You’re just saying that.”

In my first week here, I observed her routine. She would take out coffee from the nearest coffee shop before she got here, one shop for every day.

“No, she recoiled. I mean it. It’s better than commercial coffee from coffee shops.”

“Ahh,” I let her be and took the compliment. “Thanks”

I let her get settled down first, and talk about how she had to get accustomed to her own bookkeeping while I was away Then she asked me about California And I have to admit, I will miss my morning with Siobhan

“Thank you for what you did yesterday, I said when I had drank half of my coffee My mug was sitting at Siobhan’s table while I fumbled with my hands on my lap “Talking to Cole cleared my head”

She was already browsing her emails on the computer. That was a habit of hers that didn’t change, as though the caffeine helped her see through the messages more clearly She can multitask, too She’s already replying to emails while we re having this conversation.

“I wasn’t sure Cole would be any help. He’s too self–absorbed to care, you know,” she grumbled, convincing herself that Cole

was how she portrayed him in her head when we both know she doesn’t think of Cole that way. Why would she call him to help me, right?

He was pretty helpful. He told me things that made me understand why Nana Lucy acted the way she did, and more,” I said, the question that had been floating in my head wanted to spill out of my mouth.

Yes, I didn’t ask Beckett about his arranged marriage. I mean, why would I? We were already married. It doesn’t matter any more. But no matter how much I tried to bury that knowledge in the back burner of my head, it was still pestering me.

I was lost in my thoughts that I hadn’t noticed I had zoned out for a while. Siobhan was already looking straight at me, which meant I had been at it for some time.

Her chair swiveled as she faced me, set her hands on the table like a counselor who’s ready to listen to my story. “Spill.”

“Hm?” I played it cool.

“Tell me what’s going on,” she urged in that voice of hers where I had no choice but to tell what was really going on in my mind. Is that a businesswoman kind of thing? I wouldn’t know.

I couldn’t form words. This was much worse than leaving Old Town Tavern. I reached for the envelope I’d hidden in my jacke and handed it to her. “This is what’s going on.”

She was skeptical as she reached for it, slowly ripped the top side, and silently read the document. Her face was completely passive. I can’t figure out what was running through her mind,

It was my resignation letter. I’d like to think this was solely my decision, but I can’t pretend Nana Lucy, Cole, and Beckett didn’t influence me.

“Are you sure about this?” Siobhan set the document down on her desk and reached for her cup of coffee, not removing her gaze from me as she sipped it.

I nodded, feeling the weight of the decision settle on my shoulders. I don’t answer her question directly. “I will be going to college, then part–time at Sea, Salt and Bread.”
