Lizzie's POV

July 7th, 2024

These past few days have been overwhelming for me. After my sweet girl's amazing birthday party and all the weekend celebrations that followed, the beginning of the week arrived sooner than I would've liked, and with this, adult responsibilities came along as well.

First thing on Monday, I got a call from Brennan, the realtor that is helping me sell my house, saying that a nice family had made a promising offer to buy the property, so that meant I had to meet up with Robbie and our lawyers again to pass over the deed to the new owners as well as give Robbie his share of the house's sale money.

In addition to this, I had to fly back to Vancouver for the last filming shoots of 'Eternity'. With me being out of town, all the legal agreements regarding the sale of the house had to be discussed through Zoom, but I still had to sign all the papers in person as soon as possible. That's why, once the wrap-up party for the movie's production was over, I took the first plane back to LA and met up with my lawyer.

I honestly was hopeful that after seeing that the house was not getting sold so quickly, Robbie would desist on making me sell it and just let me pay him the sum that the judge had determined in case I wasn't able to sell the house before the due date. But like any bitter ex, he had to get his way and make me suffer after I left him. And somehow, he managed to get multiple buyers until someone hit his price, hence why I'm now losing the very first home I bought with my own money.

It is very sad and devastating having to let go of something I worked so hard to obtain just because of a legal feud with a man that has done nothing but continue to disappoint me. What hurts me the most is that I'm losing my garden. I specifically bought this house because I wanted to build my garden and take care of it until my very last moment on this Earth, but I guess that dream just got stepped on and I'll need to figure out how to make it happen somewhere else.

Y/N has been a great help through this whole process. As soon as she found out that I needed to meet with Robbie, she offered to accompany me and support me through the unpleasant encounter. I was very grateful for her desire to help and her unconditional love for me that always makes her want to protect me, but I knew seeing Robbie was already going to be an uncomfortable situation; I didn't need the notary's office to become a battlefield thanks to their beef. That's why I told Y/N to let me and my lawyer deal with this matter, so we could finally cut all remaining ties with Robbie and spare ourselves any unnecessary bloodshed.

It took a lot of convincing to make Y/N stay on the sidelines of this issue, but after telling her that if she wanted to help me, she could help me by hiring a good and trustworthy moving service that will take proper care of my things, my Angel agreed not to intervene or confront Robbie and kept herself busy with the rehearsals for the upcoming second half of the tour.

I was just finishing signing the documents that Victoria gave me yesterday after our meeting with Robbie and Mr. Trapp regarding the deed transfer, when the sound of the big front door of the mansion caused me to look up and instantly smile at the sight of my beautiful Angel.

"Hi Lovey", Y/N greets me gleefully as she quickly leaves her stuff on a nearby armchair and skips over to me. I giggle at her adorable antics before she finally reaches me, and we immediately cup each other's faces to share a lovely kiss.

"Hi Angel. How was rehearsal?", I ask my girlfriend while she moves my chair away from the dining table, with me still sitting on it, before she sits on my lap. I instantly wrap my arms around her middle and hold her close as Y/N grabs my strands of loose hair and tugs them behind both of my ears before resting her hands over my shoulders.
