      About the Author

      Prologue

      It wasn’t particularly the fact that they had got caught that was bothering him - it was the look of disgust on his father’s face that he had found really hurtful. It had been happening for a while - both were university students; he had tried to ignore it, but the feeling had always been there and it had felt so right; until, at last he had succumbed and one thing had led to another - this was how they had ended up in this situation - except, going by his father’s expression, that was all going to change - and not for the better...

      Chapter One

      Sixteen years later

      He sat on the bench, waiting, just waiting. He had rehearsed this moment over and over again in his head at least a dozen times and it still didn’t make sense, still, this was what he wanted...wasn’t it? He still wasn’t sure; he closed his eyes and thought about his wife and child at home - he loved them, of course he did - but every time he thought of them, he just felt miserable and cursed himself for putting them through this and being so weak.

      ‘I got your text!’

      He blinked and looked up at Adam, three years younger - he had chestnut hair and was very good looking. ‘Hi!’

      ‘Hi! You alright?’

      Richard shook his head. ‘Yes...fine just sit down for a minute will you?’

      ‘Alright! What’s up?’

      ‘Adam...you know what day it is?’

      ‘Oh God! No!’

      ‘I’m afraid so.’

      ‘Rich no!’

      ‘You know what we said!’

      ‘You mean what you said!’

      ‘Look - most guys would give up after they got married; I said I would end it when my daughter was old enough to be able to figure out what was going on.’

      ‘How do you know she would?’

      ‘She’s fifteen Adam!’

      ‘So that’s it?’

      ‘Adam-’

      ‘Seriously?’

      ‘You know what we agreed!’

      He stood up. ‘I still can’t believe you married her! You were just a kid!’

      ‘I was twenty!’

      ‘Yes! What a coincidence that it happened after your father had caught us.’

      Richard stroked his cheek. ‘I’m sorry.’

      ‘So am I!’

      ‘Don’t let’s leave it like this.’

      Adam looked him straight in the face. ‘Then tell me you don’t love me.’

      ‘That is not the issue.’

      ‘Fine! Message received and understood! You will never hear from me again.’

      ...

      ‘Hello?’ He got in and took of his jacket.

      ‘Hi Dad!’

      He smiled as his daughter greeted him. ‘Hey Saffy! Where’s your mother?’

      ‘We’re clearing out the attic!’

      ‘God! Really?’

      She grinned. ‘I know!’

      Suddenly, his wife called out. ‘I heard that!’

      Richard grinned. ‘Right!’

      ‘Dad - can I go round Selene’s? I’ve done my homework.’

      ‘Saff- you know the rules - not on a school night.’

      ‘Please?’

      ‘No - at the weekend maybe.’

      ‘Fine! I’ll just get ready for dinner.’

      Just then, his wife appeared, she was petite with wavy brown hair and very neat in her ways which, Richard supposed, had been the main attraction. ‘Good girl! Take your clothes with you please!’ She smiled and turned to him. ‘Are you alright?’

      ‘Of course! Why?’

      ‘Oh - you just seem a bit distracted.’

      ‘Rache - I’m fine - honestly.’

      Rachel bit her lip. ‘Look - don’t you think we should talk about-’

      ‘About what?’

      ‘You know!’

      ‘Oh Rache! For goodness sake!’

      ‘Well - it’s important!’

      ‘We do!’

      ‘Hardly! I mean - it’s like you don’t want to touch me.’

      ‘It’s not that.’

      ‘Then what is it?’

      He stared at her. ‘I do- I’m going to get ready for dinner.’ He walked away and ignored the uncomfortable silence.

      ...

      He was busy typing on his laptop when Richard entered the Cafe, he watched him before heading up to the counter, even when he was studiously working he was easy on the eye.

      ‘Hi!’

      ‘Hi! Coffee?’

      He smiled slightly. ‘Maybe if you looked up - you’d see that I have one.’

      ‘Oh yes!’

      ‘So...How are you?’
