Sophie My ex-husband’s older brother came home to care for his sick mother. I was already there. I’ve been there for half a year — the ex-daughter-in-law who stayed when the actual son didn’t.
Driving Patty to chemo. Learning her medication schedule.
Pretending I hadn’t thought about my ex-brother-in-law Grant Guilligan since the night he danced with me at my own wedding and then disappeared by morning.
He walked onto that porch, and I remembered exactly why I’d been pretending. We made an arrangement. He’s leaving in three months. I know where it ends. That’s what makes it safe.
Except now he’s not leaving. I’ve been wrong about Guilligan men before. But I want to believe this one is different.
Grant I left the morning after my brother’s wedding because of her. Five years. Thirteen countries. Every contract that kept me moving. I told myself it was the work. I was lying.
Sophie Guilligan has been caring for my mother for six months. Running a household that isn’t hers. Loving a family that didn’t even stay. I came home to help my mother.
I told myself three months, clean exit, back to the work I know. I’ve spent twenty years perfecting the leaving. Turns out that’s the easy part.
The hard part is realizing I don’t want the next flight out. I want her. So I’m staying. She just has to believe me.
