Chapter 20: Unusual Alliance

Sunday, October 11, 2016

At 6 am my phone was alarmed and I woke up in Michael's arms.

I mourned and Michael said, "Good Morning sleepy head."

"I have forgotten that you don't sleep," I told him as he drank some coffee and stared at me.

"I didn't abandon you. I tracked you down," replied Michael to me.

He then had a flashback 26 years earlier to the day Sharon was born.

As I held my baby Michael looked at us through the window and Tyrece, my ex-boyfriend, said, "You can go see them."

"My wife died. And god knows I want to marry her. But I am not putting a target on her back. I can't bury her," replied Michael to him.

Tyrece then said, "But she is going to find out one day."

"Whatever she needs call me. But the less they know about me the better. And be a good boyfriend to her," replied Michael as he walked away.
