“What? No, of course not! I have seen her twice I met her at the zoo with Mark one day and yesterday when I picked Mark up from school He ith us all the time both times of course”

“Oh, of course,” I said

“What are you i, Holly?”

“I’ around with your ex-wife and leaving me to look like a fool”

“I’ve told you everything It was all about Mark It was always about Mark”

“She’s using hiet at you, and I think she burned our son on purpose too And then the worst part of that is you left to go be with the with your baby in the hospital”

Aiden jumped up off the couch then and said, “Are you crazy? I told you already, Cecile would never har so like that? And don’t you think I already feel bad enough about not being able to be at the hospital? I couldn’t leave Mark stranded with no way home”

“You want to knohat her ht be, Aiden? Toout of her way to make me look like a bad mother”

Aiden snorted and said, “Leaving hot coffee that close to your son helped you do that on your own”

I don’t recall ever being so angry insoht from our room and ran into Aiden in the hall

“What are you doing?” he asked me

“Going to bed in the guestrooed like he couldn’t care less and stepped aside and let ry I was So infant in the house was so inconvenient I locked it instead so that he would hear it click and know I ainst it My whole body was shaking fro so mad My knees buckled and I slid withthere on the carpet, I cried my eyes out

I don’t kno long I sat there, but it was cathartic to get it all out When I pulledI couldn’t control it I went in and took a long, hot shohich helped, a little I took the babyat the ceiling for the longest tiht sleeping alone since Aiden and I had been ht…Cecile was so obviously trying to worm her way back into Aiden’s life I didn’t understand why he seemed to not be able to see it Unless maybe he was okay with it? What if he’s decided now that she’s free again, he wants her back? Would he really just kick me and Eric to the curb?

No, he would never kick Eric to the curb After our talk tonight, I wasn’t so sure about ressively accusinga bad ain Cecile had set this whole thing up, and in doing so she had planted that seed in hisI didn’t knohat I was going to do What I did knoas that no ether to end I didn’t believe he was cheating one that poor little boy to uilty of his lies He shouldn’t have lied to y for that If we got through this, it would be a long tiain The rest of this was Cecile’sher own son as a pawn to be disgusting

I pro first thing in the ure out what to do about Cecile and one way or another I was going toto try and take my husband would be a very bad idea
