L: It’s a shame I am not able to be there with you. I wish you a good day, I am going on patrol. Text me when you get home. Kiss
K: Be careful out there. Kiss back.
A two minute call. Two minutes that made my heart beat faster. How can someone be so bossy and sweet at the same time?!
6.00 a.m. I can't wait to have your kiss.
6.05 a.m. Hahaha. Dream on.
6.05 a.m. Already done but I really would love to have one.
I don't answer back, I go back to my room to take a shower a get ready.
I meet my team in the hotel hall and we go to have breakfast. I don’t know why but all three of them are staring at me amused.
“What?”
Hewitt replies first.“You tell us, you're all shinning and smiling. So?? What’s new?”
“Oh nothing to worry about, I just met someone. By the way, we are heading to London first, I am meeting with Jason to get him to sign the divorce papers then we go home.”
Reyes’s fork falls from his hand. “You seem so calm.”
I smile and nod. I am and perhaps Logan's attention helped me with this. So I text him.
7.50 a.m. I am about to leave, have a good day and take care of yourself.
The flight to London was calm, I was even able to sleep a couple of hours.
When we arrived in London, Hewitt wanted to come with me but I wanted to see Jason alone and also avoid bloodshed. Daniel and my brother met each other as children and I was entrusted in the protection of Daniel in the absence of my brother. The years have passed but the two of them continue to be so protective.
Arriving at the Phillies, Jason was already there waiting for me with Irene.
“Sorry I'm late but the taxi took a detour to avoid traffic,” I apologize to them smiling. “Irene, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have to cut the meeting short because I have an urgent commitment afterward. These are the papers I’ve sent you by email. Did you read them? Are there any changes to be made? “
Jason doesn't know what to say. I feel his embarrassment and maybe he feels guilty, too.“Look, I don't hate you, I'm not angry. Unfortunately our marriage hasn't worked for a long time so I don't blame you. I just wanted to know about it from you or found out earlier so you could live your relationshipwithout fear. You will have a child and that’s a blessing, so really, it's alright. “
Irene smiles thanking me and Jason finally looks me in the eye“Thanks, Kate.”
I sincerely smile“Really, stop it, you moron! If you don't have any changes to make then sign up and I will make sure I get everything sorted as soon as possible.”
Irene bursts out laughing“I like her! You're tough and I thank you for not wanting to kill me and for not having made a scene.”
“Thanks for the compliment. I don't need to, Irene, life is one and we all deserve happiness. I’ve not been able to make him happy and he has done well to choose another path. If you need anything, I'll leave you my number, I'm not always in Europe but if I can help you, don't hesitate.”
Irene gets up and hugs me crying. I give her a hug as Jason finishes signing the divorce papers. I embrace him, too.“Treat her well and be happy,”I whisper. He holds me tight then lets me go very fast. His eyes were on the door. I already know that Daniel has been watching us for a while. I knew he would follow me.
“Don't worry about him, he's only here for me, we have a flight to catch,”I collect the papers and smile at the happy couple in front of me. For a moment, I saw him and me 4 years ago.
I greet them and head for the exit. The phone in my bag rings. I may have received some messages or emails but I decide to check only once on the jet. I need to go home.
“You know I wouldn't have left you alone,”Daniel begins as we walk towards a taxi.
“Of course, you were on the threshold the second after I was inside, don't think I'm rusty,”I shake my head laughing “I'm finally a free woman and before you say anything, I'm fine. I am happy and I can go on with my life.”
“I just wanted to tell you that I'm proud of you for how you handled the situation,”he shrugs.
“Thanks, I am a kind person”we burst out laughing and I pull out the phone and see a message from Logan.
