Two months

It had been two months since she had seen him, two months since she had talk to him, two months since she had been happy. She wondered how long she was going to feel like this. More than anything she wanted to pick up her phone and call him, but she knew she couldn't. She had to move on; she couldn't let him bring her down anymore.

Kate decided that she would take Aaron to the park. Not only would he enjoy being outside, it would also get her mind off of Jack.

Jack.

Her mind always seemed to flash back to him. It didn't seem to matter what else was going on around her, she was always thinking about Jack. She wondered what he was doing, if he was okay, if he had moved on and found someone else. She knew she shouldn't be concerned about any of this because he made his choice and even though it killed her, she had to find some way to let him go.

"Jack! Jack!" Aaron squealed he had caught a glimpse of a tall man that looked similar to Jack, but he wasn't Jack.

"Aaron, sweetheart, come back!" Kate shouted as she ran towards him.

"Jack, I've missed you so much!" Aaron exclaimed as he hugged the man's leg, holding on as tight as he could.

"Aaron, that is not Jack," Kate sighed as she finally caught up to him. "I'm so sorry about all of this, he thought you were- Kate began to say, but the handsome stranger cut her off.

"Jack?" the man finished for her.

"Yeah, Jack," she said as she smiled back at the stranger.

"I'm Kevin," the man said greeting Kate with a friendly handshake.

"Kate," she replied. "And this is my son, Aaron, he's three."

"It's nice to meet you, Aaron," Kevin said as he bent down to see the young boy face to face.

"Momma, where is daddy Jack?" Aaron said as he turned away from Kevin, he always hated meet new people.

"I don't know, baby," Kate told him, hoping that he would stop asking her that question all the time.

As hard as the break up had been for her, it was even harder on Aaron. He was still asking her about Jack. Most of the time he wanted to know why Jack wasn't there to read him a bedtime story anymore. She wondered how Aaron would feel once she decided to start dating again, would he be okay with having another man in his life, or would he continue to ask her about Jack. Aaron had considered Jack a father; he would even call him daddy. In the beginning of their relationship, Kate had asked Aaron to call him Jack, but once he moved in with them, she knew there was no way she could continue to do this. Kate decided to have him call Jack Daddy Jack. Aaron liked this name, so he had no problem calling him that. Once they were married she would allow Aaron to call him Jack, but no w it seemed like that was completely out of the picture.

"Your husband?" Kevin asked snapping Kate out of her thoughts.

"Excuse me?" She asked not sure exactly what he was talking about.

"Jack…is that your husband?"

"No. No, that's my ex-fiancé," She told him.

The words seemed to cut her like a knife. He should be her husband, they should have the perfect life, but nothing really ever lasts forever.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked," Kevin apologized for reminding her about Jack. He could see that she was upset at the very mention of his name.

"It's okay. It was months ago, it is really time for me to move on." Kate said as she picked up Aaron and began to stand up.

The two shared a deep conversation for about an hour, as they watched Aaron play on the playground. Kevin seemed to be really sweet, in some ways he reminded her of Jack. They talked about their families, jobs, interest, basically everything about each other. She had learned that he was a police officer, he had no kids, and he had never been married. Kate told him that she worked at a lawyer's office, answering phones, getting coffee, it was all secretary work.

Kate felt like she could talk to this man about anything and everything. He was so easy to talk to, it was just so natural. She knew that she shouldn't feel this way; after all she had only been talking to him for an hour. There was just something about him, and the way he made her feel.

"Well, I better get going. I have to be at work in about an hour." Kevin told her as he stood up from his spot on the bench.

"It was so nice to meet you," Kate said as she reached out to shake his hand.

"Do you think you would want to hang out sometime?" Kevin asked her as he grabbed her hand.

"Like on a date?" She asked him not quite sure if he meant a date or just hanging out as friends.

"It can be a date if you want it to be, but if not it can just be a friend thing," Kevin told her.

"Maybe we could get to know each other and just be friends first," Kate told him with a small smile.

She didn't want t o hurt his feelings, but she wasn't sure that her heart was ready to move on just yet.

"How about I take you and Aaron out to dinner on Friday, would that work?" He asked her, praying that she would agree.

"That sounds great!" She replied, "I will call you later to work out the times and stuff."

"Great! I can't wait!" He told her as he pulled her into a friendly hug.

Kate was so excited this was going to be her first date since she met Jack and it was the perfect thing to help her move on from him. She could see this becoming more than a friend thing. The truth was that she really liked Kevin; he was a very nice man. He would never be able to replace Jack, but she had to move on, she deserved to be happy again. She wanted to laugh and smile again, even if that meant that she couldn't be with Jack. The most important thing in her life was Aaron, and she had to think of his needs before her own.
