"Ethan, I can't stop overthinking this. I know you're at work, but I need you here. Please."
"I'm already on my way."
"Thank you!"
I hang up and continue pacing, thinking, and thinking, and over-thinking.
Maybe Ethan's right. Maybe Dinah Jane does know and doesn't want anything to do with us. If that's the case, I'm fine with that, that means she'll leave us alone and I wont have to worry about her taking my baby away.
A knock on the door distracts me from my thoughts, and I rush to answer it, not even stopping to wonder why Ethan would be knocking when he has a key.
When I pull the door open, I get my answer when I see a pair of familiar Hazelnut eyes staring back at me.
"Dinah." I gasp, on the verge of passing out.
__________________________
Getting to know Dinah life for a few chapters
It's early as fuck, but I've always been a morning person. My best friend Lauren would always joke about me getting worms and shit, while she was the wise owl. She's always been such a jokester. She has been my best friend since we were in Kindergarten. We even went off to college together until I dropped out. My dad was pissed, but I didn't want to go to college to learn shit I already knew, and it was a prime time to go into the business I wanted. Thankfully my mother gave me the start up money for my company, and when Lauren graduated, I bought a construction company for her to run for me since that's what she wanted. She now the COO of Hansen Construction.
When I was 15 and my parents went through their divorce, Lauren was there for me and let me stay over her house to avoid the fights I would overhear. My father cheated on my mother with her best friend. And to top it all off, he had another family with this bitch. Mia is my half-sister, and is only 9 years younger than me. Elena and my father continued their affair until Mia was 6, old enough to start asking questions. That's when he ended his marriage to my mother.
My mother was devastated, obviously. She not only lost her husband but her best friend, too. My mother put her life on hold to help my father further his career, and in the end, he wanted to leave her with nothing. Thankfully Lauren's father is a lawyer and helped my mother in the divorce. She was able to keep our house, which she eventually sold and bought a new one, and more than half his money.
