I rise up and shut the curtains. It’s nonetheless early, however the unease that somebody is watching us is overwhelming.

My first intuition is to cover from the world with Casey. However that’s not a sensible answer.

I like Alex. He’s turned my world the other way up along with his love and kindness. And he’s taken on a job in Casey’s life with out hesitation.

I’m unsure what lies sooner or later, however I do need to be with him.

That is too huge for both of us to disregard.

Me: Name me whenever you get this.

Casey chews away on her muesli bar, her eyes glued to the tv. Ideas churn in my head. I used to be conscious our relationship might need a publicity difficulty, however Alex and I settled into issues being so regular. I forgot about my considerations.

I shut my eyes to try to regular my nerves.

Aid pours by means of me because the ringing sound of my telephone comes from the espresso desk, and I decide it up and sigh.

“Alex?” My voice wobbles, however I can’t assist it.

“Hey, you okay?” he asks. His involved tone practically brings tears to my eyes.

“Do you know somebody took pictures of us?” My voice comes out in a croaky whisper.

“What? What’s occurred? I’m on my manner.”

I’m left staring on the telephone as he disconnects.

“Mummy, I’m hungry.” Casey leaps at me, squishing herself in opposition to my facet.

I lean over and kiss her brow. “I’ll get dinner began. Alex is on his manner.”

“Daddy will handle that girl.”

My eyebrows rise. Regardless of our greatest efforts, she’s decided to not let that go. No matter occurs between Alex and I sooner or later, I believe he’ll all the time be ‘Daddy’ to her.

“He’s a great man,” I say.

“I like him.”

I smile down at her. Together with her blue eyes, she might go as Alex’s daughter. My concern is that these pictures are going to trigger awkward questions. “I do know you do.”

She climbs up onto the sofa and wraps her arms round my neck. “I like you, Mummy.”

I flip my head and place a kiss on her temple. “I like you too, Casey. Greater than the moon.”

“Greater than Bushy Maclary?”

I giggle. She loves that ebook a lot. “Much more than him.”

I’m nonetheless cuddled up along with her on the sofa when there’s a faucet on the door.

“Lana? It’s me.”

“It’s Daddy.” Casey springs off the sofa and runs towards the sound. I rise from the sofa and stroll to her, unlocking and opening the door to Alex’s involved expression.

“Are you okay?” he asks.

I take a step again and let him in, shutting and locking the door behind him. “We’re on some web site. TMZ?”
