was watching her from inside the cafe, but she deliberately pretended not to see him, wanting to be alone.

Back in her apartment, Rebecca sank into the couch, feeling emotionally drained. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind, but she was determined to move forward. She picked up her phone and sent a quick text to Cathy. She needed to work, and she needed distractions.

“Cathy, I haven’t said this, but thank you for always being there for me. Let’s catch up again soon.”

A few moments later, Cathy replied. “Absolutely! Anytime you need me, I’m here.”

Rebecca smiled, feeling comforted by her friend’s support. She glanced around her apartment, her eyes landing on the window where she often sat and reflected. The city lights twinkled outside, reminding her that life continued to move forward, no matter how challenging things might be.

“Everything will be alright, Becky. You’ve done your best, she thought, patting her back three times. She felt much better after that.

The next morning, Rebecca woke up feeling better. She decided it was time to focus on her career again and take back control of her life. She reached out to her clients, letting them know she was ready to get back to work. The responses were overwhelmingly positive, and Rebecca felt a sense of excitement about the future.

One afternoon, as she was working on a project in her apartment, there was a knock on the door. She opened it to replace Jacob standing there with a small potted plant in his hands.

“Hey, I thought you could use a little greenery in here,” he said with a warm smile. Rebecca chuckled, accepting the plant. “Thanks, Jacob. That’s really sweet of you.” Jacob shrugged modestly. “I just thought it might brighten up your place a bit. And if you ever need a break, you’re always welcome at the café. I haven’t seen you in a while.” Rebecca smiled. “I appreciate that. You’ve been a great friend, Jacob. Thank you.” Jacob scratched the back of his neck. “Um, I have two opera tickets for tomorrow. Would you like to go with me?”

Rebecca fell silent, suddenly remembering Nicholas. She was afraid Jacob would

His touch sent a shiver down her spine, and she found herself leaning into his hand. The walls she had built around her heart began to crumble as she looked into his eyes. “Harvey, L…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Harvey closed the distance between them, capturing her lips in a desperate kiss. All their buried needs and emotions rose to the surface. Rebecca wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer as the kiss deepened.

They tumbled onto the floor, releasing the longing they had held back for months. Rebecca held her breath as Harvey removed her clothes one by one. She had never fe more aroused than she did at that moment. She moved eagerly, contradicting her cla that she needed time to embrace Harvey, as her body had different demands.

Minutes later, they lay hugging each other on the couch, breathing heavily. Harvey brushed a strand of hair from Rebecca’s face, his eyes filled with tenderness. “I’ve missed you so much,” he murmured.

Rebecca’s heart swelled with emotion. “I’ve missed you too,” she choked out, tears

Harvey’s fingertips traced the contours of her face. “I’m sorry for everything, Becky, for the plain and the confusion. 1-

“We have so much to discuss. But right now, I just want to be with you.”

He nodded and drew her closer. They lay there silently, the weight of their history gradually lightening as they held each other. The gentle intimacy soothed their broken hearts, and each touch held the promise of healing.

Rebecca eventually looked up at Harvey. “We can’t ignore the problems we face. There’s so much to deal with.”

“I know,” Harvey replied, his voice steady. “But we can face them together. No more running away.”

Rebecca couldn’t hold back her tears. “No more running away, but would you still love me even if all of your family hates me? Mia, your parents, and-”

“Ssh, let’s take it one step at a time. We’ll figure it out,” Harvey said softly.

Rebecca smiled with a hint of hope in her eyes. “You’re right. It’s a baby step, isn’t it?”

Just as they were about to delve into the issues they faced before and after their divorce, the doorbell rang loudly. Rebecca frowned, hesitant to open the door, assuming it was Jacob. However, the bell kept ringing incessantly, They exchanged glances and hurriedly checked the monitor.

“It’s your mother,” whispered Rebecca as she saw Victoria, furiously pressing the bell several times.

Rebecca’s heart raced. She wasn’t scared, but she had that trauma in her head.

“Oh my God, should we open it?” Rebecca asked, confused.

“Just go to your room,” said Harvey.

“Are you

sure?” asked Rebecca doubtfully.
