Ex-Husband's Regret

Dead to me

I was happy today. Not only had my dinner date with Ethan gone well, but I was going to go back to work tomorrow and the day after that will be my birthday.

Just like I had predicted on Saturday, Ethan had managed to help me forget. A few minutes after getting to his place, I was already laughing my ass off.

He cooked, and he didn’t disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious. There was just something about a man that can cook and make you laugh. It ended up being a happy and fun night. It got better when I came back home and I was able to talk to Noah.

He had calmed down a bit. We chatted about everything and nothing at all, before he fell asleep still on the phone. It had been the highlight of my day.

I was baking when someone knocked on my door. I was craving some comfort food so I decided on cookies and chocolate cake.

Wiping my hands with the kitchen towel, I went and opened my door. Part of me was shocked when I came face to face with Emma. The other part wasn’t. 1

“What do you want, Emma?” I ask in irritation.

The fact that she was here didn’t spell good things. The last time she was here, I was almost killed a couple of hours after fighting with her.

Her face is stony when she answers “We need to talk”

My whole being rebelled against the idea. Against my better judgement I let her in and lead her to my living room 2

“Say what you came to say and the leave” I take a sea and watch carefully as she does the same.

She is quiet as she surveys my home. She sneers after her inspection is over,

I roll my eyes. Of course this doesn’t meet her standards It isn’t flashy nor expensive. It was simple and homely.

I doubt Emma knew the difference between a home and a house. Mine was a home, it had a

warmth to it while what Emma liked was a huge expensive house that looks clinical and cold.

I sigh “Seriously? You came all the way to my house for this nonsense again?”

I was getting tired of repeating the same thing over and over again. How will I make her understand that I wasn’t one bit interested in Rowan?
