Rowan.

I stare at my hands. My mom speaks softly to me. “I’m sorry Ro, but he refuses to come to talk to

I’ve never been this hurt. Not even when Emma broke up with me and left. Noah is angry with me

and has refused to answer my calls. Ava was right, Noah should come first and yet I let him down.

I’d decided to take Emma out on my yacht. It was to afford us privacy to talk. She wasn’t very happy after she learned that I had left her to rush to Ava’s side. It was my way of making it up to her. Unfortunately I’d lost complete track of time and my phone’s battery died.

“As she should. She’s a mother and we mothers will do anything for our child even if it means going up against their dad” she finishes, shocking me completely.

Never and I mean never has my mother ever taken Ava’s side. If there was someone who was

against Ava from the start, it’s my mother.

“I get it, but can you please try and coerce him into talking to me?” I beg her, something I’m not

used to.
