"Why the hell did I let you convince me to go out for lunch?" I grumbled as I watched the landscape flash by us.
It's been a long time since I've been outside our family estate. I think the last time I was outside was when I attended Ava's wedding. To be honest, I'd been shocked when she invited me. Of all the people, I thought I would be the last person she would want at her wedding.
"Because you needed to get outside," Molly replied, pulling me back to the conversation.
"I do leave the house, Molly," I said, defending myself.
Her scoff irritates me so much.
"Going to the garden doesn't count as going out," she retorted. "Now, stop complaining and just sit back and relax. You'll enjoy this small outing; I promise you that.
"I doubt that."
With that, I lean back against the chair and close my eyes. My mind was racing a thousand thoughts per minute. I couldn't grasp them or control them.
Since my talk with Molly in my room, my mind has been racing with ideas. I know it won't be easy but she's right, I can sit in my room, wallowing and cursing my stupidity. If I continue like that, I may never get the chance to have my son with me.
My biggest challenge, though, is Calvin.
Gunner is still young and I believe I can get him to forgive me. I really want him to forgive me. I want to have a relationship with him. It's not too late. The problem is Calvin. I know he won't easily forgive me nor will he let me near our son.
