“Mama?”
Gabby’s anxious voice yanks me from the dark thoughts
churning in my mind, the deep, aching turmoil roiling in my chest
—eating me from the inside out. I turn my head toward the hall, putting
down the blanket Gleb used last night and left rumpled on the couch where
I sit.

As I do, I’m hit with the remnants of his comforting scent. It lingers
around his makeshift bed—the one he preferred over sleeping with me on
our wedding night.
I head toward the guest room, where Gabby and I will be staying. As I
walk, my passionate encounter with Gleb flashes before my eyes,
intensifying my hurt and confusion. Last night was so incredibly perfect. So
profound. So filled with intimate pleasure. It washed away all my lingering
anxiety over the pain involved with sex.
It solidified that Gleb is vastly different from the men who hurt and
abused me in the past. And it felt as though Gleb and I might have finally
overcome the barriers separating us.
I can’t believe that after our passionate encounter, he chose to move to
the couch once I fell asleep. I didn’t even hear him go. It wasn’t until I
woke up this morning that I realized he wasn’t in bed with me.
It stings to know he needed that distance from me. And the confusion it
stirs in me leaves an anxious knot in my stomach.
Though the condo’s ceilings are vaulted, the short hall I enter is wide,
matching the open concept of the chic living space, I still feel the walls
closing in around me. The gloom of the clouds outside this morning turns
the pristine, modern interior of Gleb’s home a dim gray that matches my
heavy mood.
Because his rather cold and distant communication before he left for
work this morning made it perfectly clear that I have a lot more effort to put
in if I want to fix what I broke between us—if that’s even possible.
Forcing the tumultuous thoughts from my mind, I focus on my
immediate concern, which I do know how to solve. “I’m right here, keiki,” I
assure Gabby, using my Hawaiian term of endearment for her as I open the
guest bedroom door.
She’s adorably rumpled, her dark hair in disarray as she looks at me
with sleepy eyes. “We have pancakes with Auntie Kieri?”
“No, baby. Auntie Kieri is in Boston, and we came to New York.
Remember? It’s too far to drive to see her today. But we’ll have breakfast
with her again soon.”
My heart twinges as I fear how horribly I might have uprooted my
daughter from her happy life. Kieri was like family—as close as a mother to
me and most definitely a key person and caretaker in Gabby’s life.
It feels suddenly like a terrible sacrifice—to be without the woman who
has supported me and shown us such kindness. My stomach knots as I
consider the reason we fled Boston. The reason Gleb drove hundreds of
miles to come get us and bring us to New York.
