L'eau de la douche coule sur mon corps endoloris, les images de cette nuit me reviennent, et enfin je pleure, mes larmes se mélange à l'eau, je me déteste, je suis un monstre. Voilà ce qui tourne en boucle dans ma tête, je m'imagine la famille du petit garçon et le vide qu'ils doivent ressentir,
et je vomis, parce que le sang que je vois sur mes main à ce moment là et son corps inerte me broie les tripes, alors je vomis. Mais ça ne change pas les choses, mon cœur cogne et saigne encore, mon poing atterri dans le mur fissurant un carreau, des petites gouttes de mon propre sang tombe dans l'eau du bac à douche et je me satisfait à voir mon sang couler, parce que je le mérite, parce que je suis un monstre.
C'est quand tu sors la tête de l'eau qu'un événement horrible te fait replonger les deux pied joint les mains liés dans le dos, cette fois-ci je me noie.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
