“He’s gotten so big,” she whispers, leaning over the car seat and peering down at my son. She looks up at me and grins. “What did you name him?”
“Benjamin,” I tell her, staring at the back of her head as she watches my boy sleep. “I’m sorry,” I blurt out. I’d had this perfect speech all planned out, full of apologies and promises, and if necessary, a little begging. But seeing her again, I can’t bring myself but to be anything but totally sincere and in the moment.
Emery stands and faces me. “I was a mess the other night,” I tell her. “I didn’t know what the hell I was going to do, and all I could think about was how I finally had this amazing woman that I’d just shared an incredible night with and I couldn’t force her to jump into things with me any further while I was trying to handle living with a newborn.”
Emery’s eyes fill with tears. “I can’t imagine what you were going through, Xander. I can’t. And I’m glad you have things worked out better with the baby.”
I nod and step forward to take her hand. “Me too, but something’s missing.” Raising a hand to the side of her cheek, I lean in and whisper, “You.”
Emery’s lip trembles as she searches my eyes and then looks down to my son.
“I’m not asking for your forgiveness,” I tell her. “Just that you’ll give me …” I look down at Benjamin. “Us, a chance.”
In typical Emery fashion, she’s the one to make the first move. She leans forward, places her lips on mine and gifts me with the sweetest kiss I’ve ever had. When she pulls away, her smile lights up her whole face. “Xander, there’s nothing to forgive.”
