Clare's POV

"What do you mean you never really wanted the divorce to happen? Then why did you ask me for a divorce then Eli? I want to know now." I really hated where this was going.

"Well I got I a call from Julia." What! Did he just say Julia his dead ex-girlfriend called him?

"Eli don't play games with me. You know I hate that."

"Let me continue. I know I sounded crazy but it's true she called me saying that she never died and that she wanted to talk to me. Like what we are doing right now. Clare-"I cut him off.

"Eli if you didn't want to be with me I would've understood. Just don't make up a crazy story to explain yourself."

"Clare this really happened and when Julia and I met up at the Dot we talked but after I hugged her like a friend she pulled me into a kiss and she didn't stop and when she finally let go of me I ran out running." He sound really mad for what he did or should I say she.

"Eli when did you go to meet Julia at the Dot and how did you get it by me?" I didn't know what else to say.

"I told you I was going to meet my mom and it was the day I came back very upset and I wasn't in the mood to talk about my feelings." I'm going to kill him later for lying to me.

Eli's POV

I feel like a totally jerk for lying to her but if I did tell she would have thrown a fit. I know she wants to kill me but I do want her back.

Clare broke my thoughts and the silence. "Eli did you want to kiss Julia?" I wish I didn't have to answer that.

"Clare I didn't want to kiss Julia. The one I want to kiss is you and right now especially." I know that was cheesy but she was blushing 20 shades of red.

"You know you don't have to say that we aren't together. Plus what makes you think I want to kiss you back after eight years of being divorce and raising Brook on my own."

What she just said makes me want to beat myself up because it makes me think how bad of a father I was and that Clare was with someone else and living the fairytale.

"Clare are you with someone because if you are I get out of you and Brook's life for good even though I want to be there for the both of you?" I feel really stupid for asking her like this but I do want to be there.

"Eli I'm with no one because I never got over you." She shows me the wedding ring I put on her finger on our wedding day and the engagement ring I got on her wedding finger.

"Clare you just snapped at me for my cheesy line but now you tell me never got over me and you show me the wedding ring is still on your finger." I wasn't mad at her but I was confused if she wants me back or if we are through.

"Eli I wanted you back all these years but I never had the guts to call you and I still want you back but I need to know that you aren't going to ask for a divorce after your ex pulls you into a forced make out session. I'm not mad at you because Julia pulled you into a kiss but you didn't kiss back that what matters the most to me. I want you and me to be together and be a happy family with our daughter." What she said just made my day.

"So do we take things slow or do we get heated quickly?" I asked because I wanted to be with her more than anything and get to know my daughter better.

"We take things slow for a couple of months then we get heated." She made my day even more. Now Brook was coming back from her meal and she sat down next to me and laid her head on my shoulder.

"Mom is it okay if dad stayed with us tonight? Please I will do anything please." Brook begged Clare for me to stay with them and I was so happy that she did.

"Okay dad can stay with us as long as he stays in my room." That was really cute.

"Why don't I an overnight bag at my place. Then I will meet the both of you here in 15 minutes."

"Sure!" Clare and Brook said at the same time.
