Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

10. Cut and about

It’s been a week sitace 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

Nosh is my anchor and without home feel slightly Best Like I’m just drifting through life like a

stop wreck at sea Every day 1 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.
