A pair of starling grey eyes snapped open in the middle of the night. The moon was brightly shining and the stars happily twinkling . He got up from his bed , he had definietly heard a commotion on the ground floor.
He softly padded downstairs , in the midst of the dining room was a shadow probably of a woman.
"Who's there ?" He asked tentaitively.
"You ?!" The female figure said wide eyed . She was surprised to see him in this house.
"You ?!" He repeated his eyes widening with realisation .
"What are you doing here ?" She asked .
"I live here ! And what are you doing here ?" He asked with a smirk remembering the memories he shared.
The lady thought for awhile and
said ," I have a generous offer ......."

Meanwhile a pair of gorgeous blue eyes snapped open , her green orbs widened as realisation hit her that the other side of the bed was empty. Where was he ? She thought , then she heard whispers of two people.
As quiet as a mouse she crept down. In the very middle of the room stood a man and a woman hugging , kissing each other's cheeks and then talking seriously. One of whose face she clearly knew. Anson.
She quickly climbed upstairs , to a nursery where a small boy of 6 lay sleeping peacefully. Her eyes softened but then she heard the voices again reminding her of the harsh reality. She picked up her belongings including the boy's. She slowly picked up the boy and climbed downstairs.
"Hey you're ......" Anson began .
"Do not get me started , Anson. I am leaving !" She said with confidence.
"What ?" Anson began .
"No ! I don't want to hear any excuses ! I am leaving and that is final !" She exclaimed and walked off.
"What happened Moma ?" The boy asked .
"We are going , sweetheart." She replyed .
"Where to ?" He asked .
She paused for awhile and then replied ," To your father's ."
The boy looked confused but eventually gave into sleep.
Back in the house , Anson stood there shocked .
The bitter cold truth hit him hard like a sudden storm in the desert.
"So , Anson what is your choice now ?" She asked with a smirk.
The decision he made changed his life forever. Never did he once forget that day in his life. It haunted him , in his dreams and in his memories but his reply remained the same .
"Forever."
