Chapter 5 I love you
I didn't know how to answer him; we just went back into his bedroom. After everything was over I said," Christmas break will be over soon and the kids will go back to school, what's going to happen then?" I was worried things were going too well.
" Well they know about us, it's not a secret, everything will be fine," he answered calmly.
" But Rufus," I pleaded," what will we do when we want time alone we still have other issues to work out, we can't just go on a date and everything will be fine!"
" Relax Lil, you sound panicked," he said caringly," I'm not going anywhere, we're here for each other no matter what, I love you,"
My heart always melted when he said those three words. " I love you too," I said getting choked up. I was being uncharacteristically emotional these past few days. Everything was happening all at once. My husband died, my secret was coming out, and a lot was happening with Rufus.
He reassured me that things would be ok. And so things went on like this the whole vacation. My mother was staying at the apartment with Erik so I spent 90% of my time at the loft. Erik was back with Jonathan, so he was busy anyway, he seemed ok with my absence. All and all the rest of the vacation was pretty uneventful. Then all the kids came back for New Years and we all knew that things would be very different from that point on.
