Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Not long after Charlotte got home and sat herself down on the couch, her phone started ringing. It was a call from Anne.

As soon as she picked up the call, Anne's voice streamed through the speakers. It was laced with concern as she asked, "Lottie, are you alright? Are you back home?" "Yeah, lam."

"What does Shane want from you?"

"How'd you know it was Shane?" Charlotte pondered for a moment. She was quite sure that she hadn't told Anne about it.

Anne replied nonchalantly, "I checked the license plate number; it belongs to Fuller Group. I just assumed it had got to be Shane."

It was because of this that she managed to be at ease. Otherwise, she would have tailed the limousine when it left.

With Anne's explanation, Charlotte felt a flurry of warmth gush into her heart.

She was truly blessed to have such a terrific best friend in her life.

Without waiting for Anne to fire her questions, Charlotte let her in on every little detail, including why he had sought her out this time around.

When Charlotte was finally done, Anne's mouth had opened so wide it could fit an egg. "Wait, stop. Save it for later. I'll come over in a few, so tell it to my face." Her last syllable had barely gotten through the line when she hastily hung up the phone.

Sure enough, Anne sped all the way down and showed up at Charlotte's door within minutes. "You actually came!" Charlotte pulled open the door and stared Anne down in disbelief.

She turned around to read the time off the clock on the wall. It was almost the dead of night.

"Is Sheryl asleep?" asked Anne.

Charlotte nodded.
