Excerpt
Olivia awoke from an afternoon nap, admiring the beautiful
man sleeping peacefully next to her. She glanced around the large bedroom, the
duvet and several pillows thrown on the floor. A grin spread across her face,
thinking about the amazing sex she had with Alexander just a few hours earlier.
She pried herself out of his arms and went in search of a much-needed bathroom.
Grabbing her jeans and sweater, she threw them on before
quietly walking over to the door, thankful when it didn’t creak and wake up
Alexander. After finding a bathroom, she went to see if his mother needed any
help getting things ready for that evening.
The house was eerily quiet as she walked down the stairs
searching for Colleen. “They must all be outside,” she said to herself. She
headed in the direction of the back door, when a room off the hallway caught
her eye. She stopped dead in her tracks, a memory rushing back. Her fifth
birthday. Her mama had made her a cake in the shape of a Care Bear. She could have
sworn she remembered her mama and the green-eyed boy from the dream sitting
beside her in that very room, singing to her as she blew out the candles on
that cake.
Turning, she headed toward the ornate dining room, the table
and chairs all covered with sheets. Walking around the room, she felt as if she
had been there before, but that was impossible. She hadn’t even known Alexander
for a year and this was the first time he invited her home with him. Still, the
smell and sounds in that room were strangely familiar.
She scanned the walls and her eyes settled on a large
picture frame covered with a white sheet. The other portraits weren’t hidden.
Curious, she slowly made her way to the center of the room where the enormous
frame hung. She gingerly began to raise the sheet, wondering what was
underneath.
“Olivia, dear! There you are!” Colleen called out, startling
her.
She jumped, placing her hand over her chest. “Colleen. I’m
sorry. I came downstairs to see if you needed any help, and I guess I got a
little sidetracked.” She shrugged her shoulders, feeling guilty that she was
caught snooping around.
Colleen walked over to Olivia and placed her hands on her
shoulders, trying to lead her out of the room and away from the large family
portrait of Alexander and Olivia as children. “I understand. It happens to the
best of us.”
“Colleen,” Olivia said, raising her voice. “Why is that
portrait covered up?”
She stopped, turning to look at her. She hated having to lie
to the poor girl, particularly when her son should have simply told her the
truth by now. He swore he would tell her, and she didn’t want to interfere…not
yet, anyway. “I’m sorry, Olivia. It’s just that whenever Alexander comes home,
I try to rid the house of any memories of…”
“Oh,” she said, understanding. “I should have known.” She
turned to head back upstairs, her shoulders slightly dropping.
“Olivia, dear!” Colleen called out.
She stopped and faced her.
“He loves you very much. I’ve never seen him so happy in all
his life, even when he was a little boy.” She smiled before retreating back
outside, leaving Olivia alone with her thoughts about Alexander and why the
dining room in that house brought back memories of her fifth birthday.
