She was having dinner with a real estate client after work and she wasn't home by the time I crashed out. After my piss I was headed back to my room ...o get some more sleep when I glanced down the hall and saw Moms purse on the floor. That being unusual, I peeked into the living room to find Mom sitting on the sofa in the same skirt and blouse she wore to work the day before. She had obviously just gooten from after being out all night. She seemed kind of out of it so I asked her if she was. In silence he moved off the other side of the bed, walked around it and made his way into the bathroom. I remained facing the place he had just vacated. I could not move. I could not cry. I would lie here forever, and McAllister's face with that look of utter disgust would float in front of my eyes for all that time. I heard the shower run for a long, long time. After he came out of the bathroom, I felt him leave. He returned a short while later, and from the rustling of clothing, I could tell. Don't get me wrong I loved Elizabeth but going from a single man to an unmarried father with a two year old daughter in a matter of days was not something I planned. I bought a lot of things that Lauren was unable to afford for Elisabeth and I fell even more in love with her. She was so beautiful and so funny with some of the things she did and her mannerisms. She became the new love of my life. She was not at all difficult to raise she was smart and easy to potty train which she learned before. "Set me down," she ordered.He let her drift away, holding her hands, at first, but she pulled free and began to tread water. She was tall enough that she could put her good foot down and bounce lightly on it, holding her body steady by moving her arms. She looked around."It's gorgeous here," she sighed."It's why I came here," he said. "After the breakup, I fooled around and made some money. But I wasn't happy. I came here and learned how to be happy again." You broke up?" Julie asked."Yeah. She.
