Prologue
Carmen walked along the street with strangers around her, on her way to work, when her phone rang. Bringing her handbag closer to where it could be seen, she searched for her phone and answered the call as soon as she found it.
"Hello?" she said, continuing to walk.
"Hey babe, I'm going to be late today," she heard James say. She felt her lips turn down in a frown as she looked both ways when she reached an intersection, before crossing the street.
"Why?" she asked.
"Duty calls," he said jokingly. She chuckled slightly as she got closer to where a crowd had suddenly gathered. She finished her conversation with James before her curiosity got the best of her and caused her to join the crowd, looking through the window of a shop to find an interview on a TV.
She didn't notice the words at the bottom of the screen as she recognized the person being interviewed.
"That was a great game you just played. You must be feeling proud of your team," the interviewer said. Her eyes moved from the interviewer to the person who was being interviewed,
Taylor
To say that she was shocked to see him after all these years would have been an understatement as she stood there, frozen in her spot.
"He's such a good player," she heard someone in the crowd say.
"And he's pretty hot," another person said. She rolled her eyes at the last statement before she returned her focus to the screen where someone had joined Taylor.
"And who is this little cutie?" the interviewer asked. Taylor's face lit up with a smile as he picked up the little girl and held her close to him. The little girl turned to face the interviewer and smiled, wrapping her arms around Taylor.
"This is Emily, my daughter," Taylor said.
And as soon as Carmen heard that, her grip on her bag loosened, causing the bag to hit the concrete floor.
His daughter?
The only child that she knew that was Taylor's was the one she had given birth to.
Was it possible that this little girl was her child?
Was this her baby girl all grown up?
Carmen felt as if her legs were weak as she continued to look at the screen, almost falling onto the ground when someone caught her.
"Are you alright miss?" the man asked. She turned to him in a daze as she nodded her head.
But when she looked back at the screen, she couldn't stop herself from looking at the little girl.
Was that really her daughter?
