After I take Parker to the daycare, I go to see Dr. Lee.

"Dr. Lee, can I talk to you?"

"Oh, Dr. Davis. Sure. Come in,"

I tell him my story. Not everything. Just to make him understand my situation. I explain that I will follow my husband back. He looks sad. But he can't force me. I'm going back at the end of this month.

Nathan has spent a lot of time here. I know he has a lot of responsibility. I miss mom and dad too. I want Parker to meet his grandparents. After I talk to Dr. Lee, I get a message from Nathan.

'Hey, babe. How about we have lunch together.'

'Sure. There's a restaurant across the hospital. I'll meet you there.'

'No. I know someplace. Come to this address. I'm waiting for you. Don't bring your car. I'll take you back to the hospital.'

But I didn't bring my car to the hospital. He took me here. Did he forget? I try to call him but he won't pick up. Maybe he's busy. At 11.00 I go to daycare. I'll bring Parker with me to see Nathan.

"Hey, Martha."

"Hello, Dr. Davis. You look radiant. You look.... happy," she smiles at me

"I am," I smile back.

"I guess it's because of Parker's father," she raises her eyebrow.

"Pardon?" How does she know about Nathan?

"He is a good dad. He spends a lot of time here with Parker," she explains.

"He does?" I'm surprised.

"Yeah, Mr. Smith adores Parker. They can play for hours. Are you two back together?" She asks me.

"Yeah. We are," I give her an honest answer.

"I wonder why he doesn't come here today."

"He has works to do. But we are having lunch together," I try to explain.

"Oh? You're having a date."

"Hahaha. No. It's just lunch."

"Why don't you leave Parker here. Go and spend some time with your husband. I'll take care of Parker. You need to spend more time with him."

"You think so?"

"Yes. No matter how many children I have, I still have a date with my husband. Just the two of us."

"Okay. I'll leave him here. Please take good care of him."

"Always."

I go to see my husband with a cab. I can't wait to see him. I know I just met him a few hours ago. But I don't like to get separated from him. You're being silly, Ana. When I arrive at the place, it looks like a warehouse. Suddenly I have a bad feeling.

"Are you sure this is the place?" The cab driver asks. I become more unsure.

"Hmm, will you wait for a minute, Sir? I'll check first," I open the door and start going to the warehouse.

"Yeah, sure."

When I start walking, I see Nathan's driver getting out of the warehouse.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am. Mr. Smith is waiting for you." See, another over-analyzing.

"Where's Nathan? He said we are having lunch?"

"He is inside. He wants to surprise you," he tries to convince me. I go back to the cab driver, pay him, and tell him that it is the right place. The cab driver seems unsure, but I convince him.

"Where is he?" I ask Nathan's driver

"He's inside," he opens the door for me.

"I never know your name, what is your name? I'm sorry I never ask." I feel bad.

"It's Diego, Ma'am."

He leads the way, and then he opens another door inside and let me in. When I get in, he closes the door and locks it. This is bad. Oh no.

"Nate? Where are you?" I still try to have a positive mind.

"Well well well. Who do we have here?" I hear someone talk behind me so I turn around.

It's Lisa Jones. That bitch.
