I walked a short ways until I came to a small coffee shop and walked in to get a cup before going across the street to the small park down the street.
As I found a bench to sit on I wondered how Kendall was doing at school today. I looked around the park and saw a group of children as they played on some playground equipment. I smiled and realized how much I missed time with my daughter.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?" I heard Edward's smooth voice and turned to see him with a cup of coffee in his hand from the same place that I had visited.
I gave him a confused look before he raised his hands defensively, "I wasn't stalking you, I promise. This is just my normal lunchtime hang out." He said and sat down as I gestured with my hand for him to sit down beside me.
"You don't eat with your co-workers?" I questioned.
He shook his head and looked down at his shoes, "I'm not really friends with any of them."
I just nodded and went back to watching the children.
"Do you have children?" He asked his voice full of curiosity. I hesitated before I answered because I wasn't sure if I wanted to divulge any information about myself.
I looked at him and realized he seemed like a quiet, reserved man. Safe in fact, he seemed very safe. He made me feel safe, too.
"I do, a two year old daughter." I answered.
"What a blessing for you and your husband." He said with a small smile.
I felt myself tense up and didn't know how to respond without saying too much.
"I don't have a husband. She doesn't have a dad." My voice was tired and sad, even I could hear the sadness as I spoke.
"I'm sorry." He said and his eyes genuinely reflected his words.
I wondered if maybe he could become a friend but, then I realized nothing in life was that simple.
A/n: Sighs...it begins;) I promise happy times are coming...hang on...just trust me...
