“We don’t have time to prepare for the greatest moments;
they just simply find us when we need them most.”
“Hey Char, will you just get me an iced mocha?” I ask her as I undo
Jack’s car seat.
“You got it.” She spins and walks into Nikki’s Coffee, her blonde hair
flowing in the wind and Josh right on her heels.
Jack stirs, and I stop moving, watching him slowly come out of his nap. I
can’t believe that I made this little boy, he is the epitome of perfect. I brush
his chocolate-colored waves out of his eyes as they flutter open.
“Where are we?” Jack’s sweet voice sings in my ears.
Smiling at him, I say, “Getting coffee for a bit, and then we’ll head home.
Okay, bud?”
Yawning, he nods his head as I finish undoing his straps.
As if he wasn’t sleeping moments ago, he hops down out of his car seat,
grabbing his Paw Patrol backpack, and shouts, “I’ll race you!” as he takes off
for Charlotte.
I grin ear to ear and shut the car door, taking off after him. “You’re going

I set Jack down onto the booth, and he clambers right over, practically
ripping his milk from her hand.
But before she lets go, she lifts her brows and says, “Manners.”
He rolls his eyes with a full smile. “Chocolate milk, pleeeease.”
Her resolve immediately fades, and she gives in.
Smiling, I slide into the booth next to him, and a wave of guilt hits me that
I can feel happiness while my mom lies in a hospital bed.
My phone starts buzzing immediately, pulling me out of my thoughts. But
I have a feeling I know who’s calling, the same call I always get. I ignore it,
not wanting to have the same conversation with the person on the other line
that I have already had a thousand times. I down a couple of big gulps of my
coffee and close my eyes, sighing.
Charlotte’s hand covers my own, and I realize I might have sighed louder
than I imagined, and she leans in to whisper to me. “You can’t keep avoiding
their calls. You’ll regret it. It’ll be okay, Lu.” She squeezes my hand before
