Chapter 3

authors Note : Thank you my readers. Small towns and gossip. People outside the friend group knew about the fire not the divorce. Stay tuned.

Don't you ever say

I just walked away.

I will always want you.

"Why didn't you tell me Haley was going to be here.?" Nathan asked.

Looking to Lucas. Once the brothers entered his home office.

Lucas sighed deeply.

"Suddenly you need warning on who's showing up.? I thought high school ended years ago."

"You live you're life. She does the same. It's been that way for some time. Why does it matter.?" Lucas asked.

Nathan felt his heart racing. "It doesn't. I just didn't expect to see her. That's all." He replied.

"Good now play nice. Like an adult." Lucas insisted.

...

Haley smiled warmly. Scooping the little boy into her arms.

He had Brooke's hair and Lucas's eyes.

"This is you're aunt Haley." Brooke introduced.

Haley felt her heart soar.

He was so innocent and little.

"He's perfect. I'm really happy for you and Luke." Haley proclaimed.

Nathan swallowed hard. Off into the crowd of guests.

He couldn't help watching them.

...

"It's two lines." Nathan said.

Haley jumped into his arms.

He kissed her gently.

"We're a baby." Haley announced.

The memory soon vanished.

Nathan made his way over to the gift table to drop off his present.
