Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 13

It’s been a week since Noah left and I can’t find a pattern to live life without him. This is the longest we’ve been separated and I’m not ashamed to say that I am not handling it well.

Noah is my anchor and without him I feel slightly lost. Like I’m just drifting through life like a ship wreck at sea. Every day I eagerly wait for his calls because that’s what keeps me calm. Those calls and his sweet voice keep me grounded.

I haven’t heard from Rowan since that day at the airport. A part of my heart still longs for him but I know that this is for the best. There was no future between us and I couldn’t go on living with a man that didn’t love me.

So far everything has been quiet. Not that anyone has tried to keep me informed or anything. Since there hasn’t been any more shoot outs or people dying, then it’s safe to assume that those criminals have gone underground.

All of a sudden I bump into someone. Jolting me out of my thoughts.

“I’m so sorry, I did not see you” I apologize and bend down to pick up my books.

I'm heading home from work. Today has been a rather tiring day. I just wanted to go home and sleep.

“It’s okay, I was also not paying attention to where I was going”

The familiar voice makes me snap my head in his direction. I wasn’t wrong. Ethan was the one I had bumped into.

He helps me pick my books up and we get up together. He gives me a charming smile and I find myself smiling back at him.

“What are you doing here?” I ask him.

He was in his officer uniform and damn did he look good. I might have sworn myself off men but that didn’t mean I couldn’t look, and there was a lot to look at.

“We got a report that someone was selling drugs to kids” he pauses before continuing. “And I’m guessing you’re a teacher here?” he asks with his eyebrow raised.
