Epilogue
EPILOGUE
We all crowd around a small table in a local pub, Silas’ hand on my thigh and drawing teasing circles on my bare skin.
Taylor and her boys sit in small chatter, Bella and Henry are chatting with Lily and Harper is cosied up with Sebastian.
I have no idea why we are all here, but Flora text our group telling us it was an emergency.
Flora is a little dramatic, and I am sure all is okay.
She finally bursts through the door, panic etched over her pretty face and wild eyes.
“What is wrong?” I stand, resting my hand on her shoulder.
“I finally landed a nanny job…” she trails off.
“Right?”
“It’s Travis’ boss.” Her erratic eyes dance around the table.
“Travis as in your boyfriend’s boss?”
And she nods.
“Okay... what’s the problem?”
“That, that’s the problem! It’s Travis’ boss… is that not a little too close to home?”
And Taylor scoffs a laugh, “It’s fine, don’t lose your head… he is wealthy right? Think of the money.”
She nods again.
“Hey, hey,” I gain her attention, “eyes on me,” her lips roll thinly. “You’ve got this, I promise.”
“Yeah,” she whispers. “I hope so…”
