SAVANNAH'S P.O.V
"Mommy, can you make me pancakes, please?"
I look down at my daughter to see her giving me her puppy dogs eyes. She decided too dress herself this morning. She has on her pink tutu, with a yellow shirt that's inside out. She got her dirty blonde hair in somewhat of a ponytail. She is just so stinking cute
"Sweetie, why don't you put on the pretty pink top that I got you for your birthday?"
"But mommy, I love this one" She says pointing to her shirt
"I know sweetie, but if you wear it all the time then it's gonna get worn out and you won't be able to wear it anymore. Is that what you want?"
She gasp; Her blue eyes going wide "No mommy, I promise I want wear it alot anymore. I'll give it a rest until I get home from school. Then it want get worn out and I can keep it" She runs off to her room to change her shirt leaving me amazed by how she talks
I get started on her pancakes, so she can have breakfast before she has to go to school.
Aurora comes back into the kitchen and I'm amazed her pink shirt is on properly
I sit a plate of pancakes and bacon in front of her" Here you go, sweetie. Your favorite breakfast for my baby girl"
"I'm not a baby anymore, Mommy" She pouts
"Your always be my baby" I kiss her on the head

After dropping my daughter off to school, I made my way to work.
I walked into the break room to clock in and get my coffee before heading over to my desk, when I walked into my co-worker Landon.
Landon has hated me since the day I started working here, because I turned him down. He thinks he is god gift to women and we should be grateful to even get his attention.
"You look great. Did you lose weight?" He smirked
I ignored him and went over and made a fresh pot of coffee and picked up a blueberry muffin that was here for employees to enjoy
"You really know how to eat" He laughed "Guess I leave you too it. Save some for other employee's, they have to eat too you know" He commented before heading towards the door
I swallowed the bite of the muffin I was eating and replied "Do you have to leave so soon? I was going to poison the coffee"
He frown and left the room without another comment, I grabbed my coffee, clocked in and went to my desk to check my emails for the day.
I notice I got three emails that my boss forwarded me from clients wanting to see houses. So I called the first two and set up a time for the showing. The last client of the day is interested in the beach house that just went on the market and my boss scheduled that appointment for me, so there's no need to contact the client.
It is gorgeous and just so happens to be my dream house. If I only had the money for it, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Its the perfect place for Aurora to grow up instead of our little two bedroom one bath home we rent.
I make decent money here and I've been saving everything I can since I found out I was pregnant, but I also got student loans to pay for, So buying a house right now is out of the question.
I printed out the listings for the three houses and made notes on separate pieces of paper about each property and the name and number of the client interested.
When I got to the beach house I did a double take at the clients name, G.P. No full name just the initial's. Two things cross my mind after reading the email. One- This man or woman sounds conceited and Two- That person shares the same initials as the man that broke my heart a little over six years ago.
From: Christopher Adams <C.Adams@Verizon.com To: Savannah Thompson <S.Thompson04@Verizon.com
FWD: Beach house on Riverside
I set up, for you to show this property at 4pm. Client has been notified.
-Chris
From: G.P<GP94@Gmail.com To: Christopher Adams <C.Adams@Verizon.com
I am interested in the beach house on 4843 Riverside Drive. I need to see it Asap. Do whatever needs to happen to get it done. -G.P.
If this email is anything to go by, I'm gonna have a hard time satisfying this client. It seems he or she has an attitude problem based on that short email alone.
I checked the time and seen it was already 10:36 and I had to met the first client at eleven. Luckily the house was about ten minutes from here. So I packed up all my info for the houses and headed out.
*********
The couple interested in the first house decided it was too small for them and their growing family. I took their info on what they are looking for and told them Ill email them tomorrow with a list of potentially houses that might interest them.
After that I made my way to the second house and they ended up placing a offer on it. We went back to my office where I submitted the offer and took care of the paperwork needed at the time and their deposit.
After that I went to Subway and grabbed lunch. Now its 3:48 and I'm at the beach house waiting for my client to arrive. I've been here for the past thirty minutes just walking around making sure everything is presentable and also admiring the scenery. This place is amazing, but its also over priced.
I walked over to the kitchen island where I sat my papers and started to spread them out, when a knock came on the opened front door and a man called out with a familiar voice that I couldn't quite place
"Hello"
"Coming"
I made my over to the foyer and notice a tall muscular man with his back toward me
I made my way to him and started to speak "Hi, Mr...." I asked not knowing his name
Then he turned around and my whole body froze in place. I couldn't move, couldn't speak, all I could do was stare with wide eyes at the man who crush my heart six years prior and never gave it back
"Savi....." He said with surprise laced in his voice
