Tonight she needs a reminder that her bond with Petra has survived horrible mothers, jealousy over Rafael, and the sudden fracture that appeared when they lost Michael and Rafael within months of each other.
It’ll survive Jane being in love with Petra.
It has to.
chapter six because i forgot to post it here last week
Jane had had her fingers hovering over her keyboard for a good five minutes, and she knew this because she had also been staring at the clock on her computer. She knew she had the words in her head, somewhere, but they weren't coming out. She knew what was blocking her, but she thought this would have ended by now; it had been two months.
“You haven't completely moved on,” her therapist said the next day.
“But I have. I'm okay with this,” Jane insisted.
“Jane, you can both be okay with it and not have completely moved on. Repeated after me: 'I'm divorced.'”
Jane took a long breath through her nose. “I'm divorced.”
“And remember, you and Rafael came to that decision together, which showed tremendous growth. Divorce is a serious thing, but it isn't always bad.”
“It hasn't always felt that way,” Jane admitted. “While I'm not really upset about not being married to Rafael anymore—it's actually been pretty good—but I hear divorce, my second divorce, and I just feel sick.”
“That's natural.”
“I don't want to feel that way anymore. Even Mateo seems to be okay with it. He's actually been really mature about it, and I'm really proud.” Jane closed her eyes and ran her hand across her forehead. “It just feels weird to me. It's such a contrast to when I thought my husband died, because it's not sadness, but there is a feeling of grief.”
“Your marriage to the man you thought was the love of your life ended. That's a big deal, Jane.”

“Tell me it’s not her.”
Jane can’t, won't, refuses to because denying Petra has never been her strong suit no matter how many times her mother and grandmother had told her to steer clear she’d never been able to.
“I think we’re done.” Rafael straightens, his lip curled in disgust, he stalks out of the room.
aka the sequel no one asked for

“JR said Petra is fine.” Jane repeats the words for her own sake, “I think we should listen to her and stay out of it.”
“Bullshit. We both know that’s bullshit and I really hope you’re not going to listen to JR over your gut. Jane, it’s Petra, don’t you think we’ve abandoned her enough?” Rafael knows exactly what buttons to push and Jane can’t lie, it’s effective.
“You're right,” Jane presses the elevator button, “I’ll go and check. Text you later.”
In which some common ground is finally found.

“Petra!”
“No, he can keep his secrets. Just remember, the press is going to investigate even more now, and sooner or later something is going to come out. Something neither of you can control."
"I just need more time," Michael begs, “We’re getting closer.”
"I'm not sure you have it." Petra's words ring around them like an omen. “Now get out of my house.”

“You made a mistake.”
“Is that what they call manslaughter nowadays?”
“Petra, be serious.”
“JR didn’t care.” Petra finally says, “I guess she’s not a fan of second chances. Not the way you are.”
