Evan

It had been a few days since the altercation with Jacob and losing my cool with Cadence. She said they were friends but the moment I saw her in that office and Jacob's face, parts of a déjà Vu moment occurred. I remember that he wanted Cadence and if I remembered correctly I beat the shit out of him.

How did she think it was okay to run to another man when we hadn't sorted anything out? Was something wrong with her memory, I didn't think so. Didn't she understand that it's not easy living as two people in one body. People pulling you in both directions and sometimes enough is enough.

I shouldn't have reacted the way I did and I shouldn't have called her names. Regardless of what is happening in our relationship at the end of the day, she is still my wife and the mother of my children.

I looked in the long mirror in front of me. Today I was going to try to make a mends. If our marriage ended we still needed to be civilized for the twins.

Two days after I left New Orleans, my neurologist called and said that Dawson Neurology Research Center in California was doing a trial on victims of sever memory loss. They were taken applicants and I was selected. It was a six month trial so I would be moving to California for a time.

I needed to do this for me and if I ever wanted another chance with Cadence and be the father I needed to be, I had to try. There weren't any guarantees that it would work, but this was better than being angry all the time.

The trial was scheduled next week and I wasn't sure if I would take the stand or not. Memories from that night were slim to none. I heard the recording and saw the video but I still couldn't remember anything.

I picked up the phone and called the florist. I did remember that today was Cad's first day on her new job and since it had been a few days maybe she would accept my good luck flowers. I ordered a dozen of roses to her house and to her office. I knew it wouldn't make up for my behavior but at least open up a line of communication.

Today I was headed to the office. It had been over a week since I had been there. Drama always seemed to find me but hopefully today would be drama free. I had several meetings with artists and managers so hopefully they would go smoothly.

Lina had flown in for two of the meetings since they were New Orleans acts and maybe she could help me find away to talk to Cad.

I buttoned up my suit and checked myself in the mirror. I was still gaining my pre accident weight but I was getting close. I didn't realize that my pocket square was missing so I went back to the closet. I searched for it but it wasn't with my other ones. I looked in the other closet which held all of Cad's clothes.

The smell of the sexy perfume and the order of everything looked as if she still lived here. Clothes with tags, shoes neatly organized by heel height and colors crowded one wall while her jewelry and accessories lined the other corners. I looked around as I ran my fingers across the dresses. I stood in the middle of the huge closet with my hands gripping the marble top of the dresser.

Flashback/memory

"Hey," Cad said walking in with her black lacy bra and matching thong.

She walked up to me and kissed me.

"We still have an hour before we need to be at the gala and thought maybe we could..." She said wrapping her arms around me, "calm my nerves because this is my first one as Mrs. McCain.

"What did you have in mind?" I said leaning into her and nipping at her ear. She giggled as I took the ponytail holder out. Her hair had fallen down past her shoulders as I ran my hand through it and looked in her eyes.
