April was cooking. She enjoyed cooking and most people enjoyed her cooking, specially Jackson. He was setting the table. April had realized every time Jackson wanted something specific to eat, he wouldn't tell her directly, but he would buy all the ingredients and leave them in the fridge. April had laughed at it, but always cooked it.

Jackson approached from behind, trying to sneak in and steal some food to try it. He was like a child. April laughed, he had always being like this. She turned around fast, to stop him and reprimand him, but stopped on her track. She had turned while Jackson had tried to sneak in and now they were really closed, right in front of each other. She had almost crashed with him and he had held her to stop an accident. He was holding her by the elbows and they were mere centimeters from each other. She looked up to Jackson. None of them had said nothing nor tried to move away. She looked at his lips. She really wished to kiss him, she could hear him breathing slowly. They stood there for what felt like eternity. April knew they shouldn't do this. They were divorced. They were good friends, had child together and lived together, but they were no longer a couple. Jackson had made his choice. He hadn't being able to forgive her and he no longer loved her. She should have moved on by now.

April stepped back and smiled.

- No food till I'm finished. - she said and turned around.

She turned her back to Jackson, and a tear escaped her eyes. She really hoped Jackson couldn't see it. In that moment Harriet started crying and Jackson whispered he would take care of it. She sighed in relieve, and removed the tear from her cheek. She shouldn't do this anymore. She had to move on.

They didn't really talk while eating. April blamed herself. It hadn't being awkward for a while, and now she had made it awkward again. All because she couldn't move on.


April was laying on her bed, unable to sleep. How was she supposed to move on? Jackson had being the only man she had ever being with, she hadn't really dated before, and Jackson had being her best friend and her husband. And she still loved him. She couldn't date anyone in the hospital, she wasn't really interested in anyone there and it would be awkward. Also, how was she supposed to find someone? What was she supposed to say? "Hi, I'm April, I'm a doctor, I'm a single mom and I still live with my ex-husband, who I still love". That wouldn't work. She took her phone and googled dating. She scrolled for a bit and saw Tinder a couple times as a suggesting. She could try that. It didn't mean she would actually go on a date with anyone, she would only see what it was about. She downloaded the app and registered.

It was pretty easy. You swiped right if you liked someone's pictures, and left if you didn't. If both swiped right, you could chat with that person. She chose her pictures and started looking. She swiped left the first three guys, not really her type. Then she stopped and she stared at her phone in disbelief. There, in her screen, was Jackson, staring back at her. So at least he was moving on. She stared at her phone, confused and hurt. She wasn't angry, not really, he had every right to move on and meet new people. But she was really hurt, she couldn't stop it. Her eyes filled with tears. Had he already being on a date? When did he start?

In the end, she swiped left, closed the app and left her phone on the nightstand again. She cried for a while before falling asleep.
