I sat at my desk going through some papers that needed my attention. I try to focus but I can’t. My
mind still on the fact that Ava ignored my call yet again. If it wasn’t for hiring Lydia, I doubt I
would ever know how she was fairing.
I still can’t believe how much she’s fucking changed. It was safe to say that the AvaI knew was
long gone and in her place is a total stranger.
When Emma decided that she was moving back, I was afraid that Ava would cause us problems.
That she would be a nuisance like she was back when she was a teenager. She proved me wrong
though.
I should be happy that she was keeping her distance. That she wasn’t causing me trouble, but a
part of me was bothered by it. It was so fucking strange how bothered I was and I hated how she
was now constantly on my fucking mind.
I eventually give up on trying to focus and stand up. Moving to the windows, I stare outside, trying
to clear Ava from my mind.
“Sir, the chief inspector is here” Christine, my secretary tells me.
I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even hear her entering my office.
“Let him in” I turn to face her before going back to my chair.
Brian, the chief enters just as I was settling down. We shake hands and then he takes his seat.
“Do you have anything for me?” I ask him.
Brian was around sixty years. Despite his age, he was still fit and on top of that, he was still sharp.
He was a retired detective and had also served in the army when he was younger.
