Eloise was in no mood for a chat. And she knew exactly what he wanted to discuss. He wanted to get back together with her.

After all they had been through, and three years post-divorce, Eloise's feelings had faded. She didn't hate him anymore, but the love they once shared had evaporated as well. Because of Linda, she wanted to coexist peacefully with him.

Eloise's heart filled with a mixture of sorrow and tenderness. She sat by the bed, extending her delicate fingers to gently caress the little one. She couldn't get enough.
