Fear of the Unknown

Allie was reaching for a folder at the top of the shelf when someone knocked on the door. She did not turn to look who was there. Her secretary was the only one allowed inside her office, except for those who had a special arrangement with her. She would always inform her through phone calls once her guests were already in the waiting lounge. 

It was already three weeks since the day the Lopez's were at her home, surprising her with Adrian's true identity. No one could ever tell the depth of her joy in such good news for her ex-husband but the whole family's treatment of her as still a part of the family made her awkward. Though in her heart was always him but the damage was already done. Too many people were involved, especially Hayri who did nothing but all that's best for her.

Just as she was about to turn back to her table, a pair of two arms hugged her from behind. With his chin resting close to her neck, he whispered, "I miss you so much."
