My brain cells were totally fried.

I’ve been sitting here since Calvin left about an hour ago. I asked him if Noah could stay the night

at his house today and he agreed.

I was still trying to grasp all that I learnt today. It was too much information all at once. I didn’t

know how to handle all of it.

My phone rings. For a second I think of ignoring, but decide against it. It might be an emergency.

I swipe the screen sightlessly. I put the gadget to my ear, but don’t say a thing. My mind was

completely blank so I wait for whoever was on the other side to speak.

“Ava” she breathes. “Thank God. Are you okay? Travis told me what happened today”

Immediately I recognize her voice. Letty.

“I’m not sure, honestly” I reply in a whisper.

I still didn’t understand how Emma could be so cruel to Calvin and Gunner. I know that she always

wanted to carry Rowan’s children, but to reject her own flesh and blood because he doesn’t have

and broke my heart at the same time.

“Yes. It was just by coincidence I guess”

“How? How were you able to figure it out” she asks, her voice in disbelief.

I don’t know whether it’s from finding out that Emma has a son or it’s from her inability to

understand how I came by the truth.

“His smile” I breathe. “He’s smiled at me many times before, but there was this day it just hit me

“Cal never said anything before?”

“Never but when I mentioned Emma’s name, he completely froze. That gave everything away.

Also the fact that he didn’t correct me”

It still seems so surreal. I can’t imagine my life without Noah so I don’t understand how Emma

was able to live like her son didn’t exist.
