“He’s back.”
The words weren’t much more than a whisper leaving my lips and had it
not been by the way her shoulders tensed, I wouldn’t have been sure Evie
heard me, but she did. I knew it. She didn’t say a word, not as she sat her
eight-month-old in his highchair, and not as she opened the fridge, taking
out some of her home-made pureed food.
“He’s back,” I repeated as the world around me turned blurry. It wasn’t
until she heard the crack in my voice that she turned around, sighing when
she looked at me. She ran a hand through her long curls, her audible gulp
breaking her silence.
“Who is?”
I scoffed, shaking my head and wiping away the tears that managed to
escape. My hands trembled and my heart was about to beat out of my chest,
but I was going to keep it together. I had to.
“Derek is back.”
A flash of guilt covered her features, but her lips quickly formed a gentle
smile, one of sadness. One of relief. We had been through so much the past
months–months in which Derek was off drinking. Months in which Derek
had thrown away everything we had built together.
I had spent months alone, left to pick up the pieces he’d discarded so
easily.
He had taken it all–our dreams, our hopes, my love, set it on fire and
watched it burn to ashes. Seeing him again would send me on a spiral. I
couldn’t do it again.
I had too much to lose.
My hands balled into fists, my gaze falling on the fading scars that
remained on my wrist as my chest tightened. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t
think. He couldn’t be back. I’d made progress, I was better off as far away
from him as possible because seeing him stung.
I couldn’t imagine what hearing his voice would cause.
Evie sat down next to her son, stirring the homemade apple puree he
loved before speaking again. “Did he say anything to you?”
My heart dropped. There was no surprise in her tone, no shock.
“Did you know?”
She nodded, biting down on her lip briefly before continuing. “Yeah. He,
uh…he dropped by last night. Says he’s been sober a couple of months.
Went to rehab and well…now he’s back.”
I raged.
I fumed.
I’d played out the moment I would see him again in my head several
times and every time it was different. Some full of anger and resentment
and the others full of heartbreak, just like he’d left me. Never did I think
those eyes would reclaim what I was sure he’d lost. Because his eyes, the
way he looked at me for those brief seconds told me exactly what he
thought.
You’re still mine.
Perhaps that was my fear—that those words were true.
“You should have told me,” I said, running my hands through my hair.
Evie continued feeding Noah, her innocent baby oblivious to the chaos
brewing around him. “Evie, why didn’t you tell me?”
