On his way to the park, Alex had heard no less than three times about how Gabby was Olivia’s absolutely best friend. It was all the man could do to remind himself of the circumstances. He had agreed to take Gabby to her playdate at the park to give Tessa some space for an afternoon, so he was already in rough water, and he’d be a hypocrite to keep his daughter away from a friend over the girl’s parents. She loved Gabby and the twins to death, and Alex let her ramble all the way to the park, climbing into the back seat to let her out of her seat, watching as she dashed to the playground in search of her friends. He looked for the familiar blonde across the way - at least lately, Rosalie was tolerable and they could pass the time, if only by focusing on the kids.
Only this weekend, it didn’t seem to be in his favor. There was no Rosalie in sight, but her husband was there on a bench across the way and Alex groaned out loud as he locked up the car. “Perfect.” He crossed the grassy space and sat down on the opposite end of the bench, leaving as much space as physically possible between them. “Thought your wife was coming.”
