The court thingy went on until about four PM. I went home as quick as I could because I didn't wanna be there anymore.

Now here I am, sitting on the couch watching my comfort movie The Martian. I know, doesn't sound like a comfort movie but for me it is. Just a movie where I can get a good cry from. And Sebastian plays in it, I made him watch it with me a couple of times and he hated it every time.

Ryan and Blake offered to take the kids for a night to let me cool down and stuff. They knew that I wasn't looking forward to it and would probably be done with the day when I got home. And dang they were right.

Talking about Ryan and Blake, Ryan wanted to borrow that Trouble Man vinyl I have. He loves Marvin Gaye and I once mentioned that I have a vinyl. I get up and walk into my bedroom. That's where I keep my pretty impressive collection of vinyls.

I mean I'm a musician, than it's kinda logical that I have a pretty big vinyl collection. I open the drawer and look through it for a good eight minutes until I found it.

"Gotcha." I pull it out and look at it. Oldie but goldie. This used to be one of my favorites, it's been way too long since I pulled this one out.

I open the vinyl to see if the actual thing is there but something fell out of it. It's a polaroid picture.

I turned it around and it had a whole story on the back

I turned it around and it had a whole story on the back. He was always romantic like that.

I have no time to be emotional about this because the doorbell rang

I have no time to be emotional about this because the doorbell rang. I throw the polaroid on my nightstand take the vinyl with me as I walk into the hallway. I put it on the table, I'll deal with that later. The person at the door is either someone who Chris sent to check up on me or Chris himself.

As I open the door my guess was confirmed, it's Chris.

"If you wanna talk or whatever it is please leave because I just wanna sleep." I say. He's still in his navy suit and black tie from the court appointment. But then there's me, who changed into shorts and a shirt immediately.

"Just let me in Emma, I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm just here to talk about something else."

"Did you hear what I just said?"
