Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

225 Saturday Reflections (Winona)

Saturday morning greets me with a quiet kind of heaviness. I'm back in the penthouse trying to be awake enough to spend some time with Abby after another long night at the hospital.

Jayden is still with tiny Henry, and he'll be home for lunch and a nap later. Ashlyn's time on life support is almost up, and it's like a shadow that hangs over every minute of the day. In limbo, almost. But life goes on, as it always does.

Lisa is here and she's in the same dress as last night. She called and asked if I could pick her and Cass up from doing the walk of shame. I was about to leave the hospital anyway.

"I guess the will to survive is a basic instinct. I hope he makes it."

"That is true, anyway, how are you? All night clubbing has been a while."

"I was happy to stick with Cass and make sure she got back here safely."

"Thanks for that."
