"But we made it, didn't we?" I ask and pull my jacket tighter around
me as we walk through the green park during the fall. The person nods, long
blonde hair spills over the shoulders.
"We made it."
"It was kind of easier than I thought."
"Yeah it was."
"I think it came out pretty good." I say as we sit on a bench. We watch the birds far off and hear children play all around us.
"Adam?" The silence finally breaks.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Do you think it could have turned out better?"
"Well of course. But we're not too bad, are we?"
"Well I guess not."
"You have to look on the bright side." I say. We sit in silence for a little while.
"Adam?"
"Yeah?"
"I promised Denise I'd meet her for lunch. I have to go." Jay says and stands up. I stand up.
"Yeah I have to pick up Stephanie."
"See ya man." Jay says and hugs me. I hug him back.
"Thank you Jay."
"Anytime." He says and we walk our separate ways.
~~~~~~~~
I walk up the stone walkway and up the stone steps of Alanah's new house. It's huge and a light light blue. It's really pretty. The trimming is white. I helped pick it out after our divorce. Now I see Stephanie every weekend.
I raise my hand and knock on the door. I hear her tiny footsteps as she runs to the door.
"Daddy?" Her sweet, angelic little voice floats through the door.
"Of course baby." I answer.
"DADDY!" She yells as she swings open the door. I break out in a smile and hug her.
We both have on blue jeans and a blue t-shirt. The only difference is I have on a khaki jacket.
"Hi Adam." Alanah says as she comes to the door. She has on dressy pink pants and a pink glittery tank top. Her blonde hair is loose. She has on a little make-up. She looks beautiful again. I guess the divorce helped relieved a little stress. Her eyes are a clear crystal blue and she looks just the way she did when I fell in love with her.
Of course after what I put her through she wouldn't want me back. I didn't get jail time, just probation. Stephanie doesn't understand what went on. I'm glad.
"Hi Alanah. I'm thinking of taking Steph to the zoo." I tell her. Alanah smiles and nods.
"Sounds great." She answers.

I sigh and throw my jacket on the chair. I'm still not used to a bachelor life. It's boring. I think I'll check my e-mail before going to bed. Hey so it's a glamorous life, but it's all I've got.
**Tell me what ya think!**
