The house seemed unbearably silent that morning.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

It showed me just how hollow twenty years of memories could sound.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I brushed my fingertips across the kitchen counter where Jordan once left his coffee cup.<\/p>\n

Four children.<\/p>\n

One marriage.<\/p>\n

One life I believed I knew.<\/p>\n

How hollow twenty years of memories could sound.<\/p>\n

I lifted the framed photograph from the shelf.<\/p>\n

I looked at the woman I used to be, the one who still believed in her husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, are you crying again?\u201d<\/p>\n

My oldest daughter appeared in the doorway, her hair tied back, concerned about softening her eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m okay, sweetheart. Just thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou always say that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, are you crying again?\u201d<\/p>\n

I placed the photograph back down.<\/p>\n

I managed a smile that felt much heavier than it should have.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it\u2019s always true. Now, come here. Your brother wants to discuss this pool party of his, and I could use some backup.\u201d<\/p>\n

She walked across the kitchen and wrapped her arms around me.<\/p>\n

For a moment, I allowed myself to lean against her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could use some backup.\u201d<\/p>\n

My son rushed in only a second later.<\/p>\n

He was already carrying a wrinkled list filled with names and party plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, I want everybody there. The whole family, my school friends, the neighbors. Everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my fifteenth birthday. It matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want everybody there.\u201d<\/p>\n

I watched his face brighten the way it once had before our divorce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen everybody it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven Dad?\u201d<\/p>\n

The question dropped like a weight against my chest.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still your father. Of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

My son gave a slow nod.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still your father.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay. Thanks, Mom\u2026 Do you think he\u2019ll really come?\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t have an answer to give him.<\/p>\n

Jordan had missed plenty since leaving us to be with his mistress.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s just send him the invitation and see what happens, okay?\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

My son nodded.<\/p>\n

He hurried away carrying his list, but my daughter remained beside the counter.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think he\u2019ll really come?\u201d<\/p>\n

She watched me the same way she watched storms gathering over the coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know he could bring her. If he comes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019re okay with that?\u201d<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t truly been okay since that afternoon when I stood inside our bedroom, holding our six-month-old baby, and listened as Jordan spoke the words that destroyed everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know he could bring her. If he comes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m with Percy now. We\u2019ve been together for more than a year. I don\u2019t want to spend any more time with a woman who\u2019s no longer attractive to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

I remembered our baby moving softly against my shoulder.<\/p>\n

I remembered locking my knees because I was afraid I might collapse.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom?\u201d<\/p>\n

I blinked and found myself back inside the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cA woman who\u2019s no longer attractive to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m okay, honey. Really. Your brother deserves an amazing day, and I\u2019m going to make sure he gets one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPromise?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPromise.\u201d<\/p>\n

She kissed me gently on the cheek and walked away.<\/p>\n

I stood by myself again, mentally listing everything I still needed to purchase, organize, decorate, and somehow pretend I could manage without falling apart.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour brother deserves an amazing day.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

But first things first.<\/p>\n

I sent Jordan a text inviting him to the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthan wants the whole family there,\u201d I wrote.<\/p>\n

Not long afterward, my phone buzzed against the counter.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s name appeared brightly across the screen.<\/p>\n

Something inside my stomach tightened before I\u2019d even managed to read one word of his reply.<\/p>\n

I sent Jordan a text inviting him to the party.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s response was brief and cold.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll bring Percy. She\u2019s part of my family too.\u201d<\/p>\n

I read the message three times before its meaning completely registered.<\/p>\n

My chest became tight.<\/p>\n

I lowered the phone and stared toward the pool skimmer floating in the shallow end, struggling to breathe normally.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, are you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

I read the message three times.<\/p>\n

My son appeared in the doorway, his wet hair flattened across his forehead.<\/p>\n

I made myself smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m fine, sweetheart. Just finishing the details for your big day.\u201d<\/p>\n

He watched me for a little longer than I wanted him to.<\/p>\n

Then he v@nished outside into the yard again.<\/p>\n

That expression, the way my fifteen-year-old son could already recognize whenever I was pretending, loosened something deep inside me.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I made myself smile.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t allow Jordan to arrive beside Percy and turn me into a miserable, a.ban.don.ed wife.<\/p>\n

Not in front of my children.<\/p>\n

Not in front of neighbors who had watched our family together for twenty years.<\/p>\n

I opened my laptop and searched for words I\u2019d never once imagined myself typing.<\/p>\n

\u201cActors for hire, private events, discreet.\u201d<\/p>\n

An agency located near downtown answered me within an hour.<\/p>\n

Words I\u2019d never once imagined myself typing.<\/p>\n

The woman who answered the phone sounded calm and professional.<\/p>\n

As though hiring someone to pretend to be my boyfriend was just as normal as booking a catering service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have someone free Saturday. His name is Clark. Very professional.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly for a few hours,\u201d I explained quickly. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t need to do much. Just stay beside me. Maybe smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course. He\u2019ll perform whatever role you describe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t need to do much.\u201d<\/p>\n

I hung up and pressed my palms flat against the counter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019d become the kind of woman who paid strangers to pretend she was loved.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

We agreed to meet at a caf\u00e9 one day before the party.<\/p>\n

I arrived early, ordered nothing, and tore at a paper napkin until only scraps remained.<\/p>\n

When Clark entered, I honestly glanced behind me to check whether someone else was the person he planned to meet.<\/p>\n

We agreed to meet<\/p>\n

He was tall.<\/p>\n

Dark hair, gentle brown eyes.<\/p>\n

The kind of polished, handsome face you\u2019d expect to see in a magazine advertisement.<\/p>\n

He slipped into the chair opposite me and extended his hand as though we\u2019d known each other for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must be my client,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ve made a mistake.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

He tipped his head slightly, waiting.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must be my client,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust look at you,\u201d I murmured. \u201cNobody will believe you\u2019d be with somebody like me. My ex-husband is going to laugh at me. He\u2019ll figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you do for a living?\u201d Clark asked.<\/p>\n

The question took me completely by surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI raised four children while he focused on his career. I managed our home. I held everything together while he was cheating on me for an entire year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody will believe you\u2019d be with somebody like me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clark nodded thoughtfully.<\/p>\n

Then he leaned closer.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you held an entire family together while a grown man deceived you every single day. That\u2019s not a weakness. That\u2019s exactly the kind of person anyone would be proud to stand beside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warmth rushed across my face.<\/p>\n

I lowered my eyes toward the destroyed napkin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not a weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re getting paid to say things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m getting paid to pretend I\u2019m your boyfriend for one afternoon,\u201d he answered. \u201cI\u2019m telling you that right now, on my own time.\u201d<\/p>\n

A quiet, disbelieving laugh escaped me, the first I\u2019d managed in weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s bringing his mistress, Clark. Percy. She\u2019s ten years younger than I am and looks like she belongs on a runway. And he texted me saying she\u2019s part of his family now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd how did you feel when you read that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re getting paid to say things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike he wanted to erase me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clark placed his coffee back on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen don\u2019t allow him to. Don\u2019t you want him to realize how happy you can be without him?\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked directly at him.<\/p>\n

There was no arrogance in his voice, nothing that sounded scripted or practiced.<\/p>\n

Only a calm, patient question.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen don\u2019t allow him to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how I\u2019m supposed to do this,\u201d I confessed.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to do anything,\u201d he said. \u201cJust stay beside me. Smile at your children. Enjoy your son\u2019s birthday. I\u2019ll take care of everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

I remembered my son\u2019s expression from the doorway that morning.<\/p>\n

I thought about our baby.<\/p>\n

I thought about twenty years spent believing that my life was secure.<\/p>\n

Then I drew a slow, trembling breath and nodded.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how I\u2019m supposed to do this,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay. Saturday. Two o\u2019clock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clark smiled.<\/p>\n

For the first time in months, I felt something that came dangerously close to hope.<\/p>\n

I had no idea yet that my children were making plans of their own.<\/p>\n

Or that one small, wrapped box was about to change everything.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Music from the speakers mixed with laughter and splashing water while I moved among groups of guests.<\/p>\n

My children had made plans of their own.<\/p>\n

Clark remained beside me, relaxed and composed.<\/p>\n

He played his role with a kindness that almost seemed genuine.<\/p>\n

I kept watching the gate, waiting.<\/p>\n

My son, Ethan, came over with a wrapped gift box tucked beneath his arm.<\/p>\n

He looked up at Clark with unusual seriousness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Dad gets here, can you hand this to him? It\u2019s from all of us kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

I kept watching the gate, waiting.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Clark looked toward me, then accepted the box.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure, Ethan. Whatever you need.\u201d<\/p>\n

I started to ask what was inside.<\/p>\n

But Ethan had already disappeared.<\/p>\n

Before I could go after him, I heard the gate swing open.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Jordan walked in as though the place still belonged to him, one hand resting against the small of Percy\u2019s back.<\/p>\n

I started to ask what was inside.<\/p>\n

She wore a dress that probably cost more than my monthly grocery budget.<\/p>\n

Her smile looked polished, distant.<\/p>\n

Every conversation around us seemed to drop slightly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere she is,\u201d Jordan called, waving as though we were old college buddies. \u201cThe birthday boy\u2019s mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

I drew in a slow breath and felt Clark\u2019s hand settle against the small of my back.<\/p>\n

Every conversation around us seemed to drop slightly.<\/p>\n

The gesture grounded me more than I wanted to acknowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan,\u201d I said calmly. \u201cPercy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Percy tipped her head with a brief nod.<\/p>\n

She was already surveying the yard as though she were evaluating the furniture.<\/p>\n

Then Jordan\u2019s gaze settled on Clark.<\/p>\n

He studied him from head to toe.<\/p>\n

Once. Twice.<\/p>\n

And then he started laughing.<\/p>\n

Then Jordan\u2019s gaze settled on Clark.<\/p>\n

Loud, cruel.<\/p>\n

The sort of laugh that made guests nearby turn to look.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have got to be kidding me,\u201d Jordan said, wiping the corner of his eye. \u201cHim? With you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan, please,\u201d I said softly.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no, I\u2019m serious.\u201d He motioned toward Clark as though displaying a car. \u201cA guy like this. Have you even looked at yourself in the mirror recently? Come on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHim? With you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat climbed along my neck.<\/p>\n

Percy pressed her lips together, concealing a smile behind her wineglass.<\/p>\n

I wanted to v@nish straight into the concrete beneath my feet.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Clark never flinched.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t even glance toward me.<\/p>\n

Instead, he calmly reached down, picked up the small wrapped box he\u2019d placed on the patio table, and offered it to Jordan with a relaxed, unaffected smile.<\/p>\n

Clark never flinched.<\/p>\n

\u201cFunny,\u201d he said. \u201cYou spent years measuring people by their appearance. Your children measured you by something much harder to pretend.\u201d<\/p>\n

He extended the wrapped box.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey asked me to make certain you received this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordan stopped laughing in the middle of a breath.<\/p>\n

He stared at the box.<\/p>\n

He extended the wrapped box.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo ahead,\u201d Clark added softly. \u201cOpen it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Percy leaned closer, interested now.<\/p>\n

Several guests standing nearby became quieter, sensing something was happening.<\/p>\n

Jordan accepted the box with a smirk.<\/p>\n

He ripped away the ribbon and opened the lid.<\/p>\n

His expression shifted.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo ahead. Open it.\u201d<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t make out what was inside from where I was standing.<\/p>\n

But I saw the color disappear from his face as though someone had suddenly pulled a plug.<\/p>\n

His mouth fell open.<\/p>\n

His fingers tightened around the cardboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is this?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

He pulled out a photograph.<\/p>\n

I saw the color disappear from his face.<\/p>\n

Ethan, perhaps seven years old, sitting on Jordan\u2019s shoulders at some long-forgotten summer fair.<\/p>\n

Then another.<\/p>\n

Then a pile of handmade Father\u2019s Day cards, their crayon colors still vivid.<\/p>\n

Then came the printed screenshots.<\/p>\n

Message after message.<\/p>\n

\u201cDad, are you coming to my game?\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Then came the printed screenshots.<\/p>\n

\u201cDad, please answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dates marked in the corners.<\/p>\n

Months without responses.<\/p>\n

At the bottom sat a folded note written in Ethan\u2019s handwriting.<\/p>\n

Jordan read it.<\/p>\n

Then he erupted.<\/p>\n

A folded note written in Ethan\u2019s handwriting.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou made him do this?\u201d Jordan turned toward me, eyes blazing. \u201cYou. You did this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t,\u201d I said. \u201cThis wasn\u2019t my doing, Jordan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLiar!\u201d<\/p>\n

Percy pulled gently at Jordan\u2019s sleeve.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan, just leave it alone. Everyone is watching.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShut up, Percy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The words came out before he could stop himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou. You did this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her expression went blank, then hardened.<\/p>\n

I noticed something small and sharp flash behind her eyes.<\/p>\n

She lowered her gaze toward the screenshots still gripped tightly in Jordan\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

Then she took the note from him and began reading it aloud.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince Percy is your real family now,\u201d she murmured, \u201cwe thought you\u2019d want these memories back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entire yard became silent except for the pool filter humming nearby.<\/p>\n

She took the note from him and began reading it aloud.<\/p>\n

She studied it for several long moments before lifting her eyes toward him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told me your ex turned the kids against you.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Jordan parted his lips.<\/p>\n

No words came out.<\/p>\n

Percy slowly shook her head.<\/p>\n

She looked around at the dozens of guests watching them.<\/p>\n

Percy slowly shook her head.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be the woman standing beside a father who neglects his own children.\u201d<\/p>\n

She removed the bracelet he\u2019d given her from her wrist and set it on the discarded gift box.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she walked out through the gate without once looking back.<\/p>\n

I stared at my ex-husband, the man I\u2019d loved for twenty years, and felt something inside me finally loosen for the first time since the day he\u2019d left.<\/p>\n

But Jordan wasn\u2019t finished.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEthan,\u201d he shouted, his voice slicing across the yard. \u201cEthan, come over here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethan didn\u2019t budge from the diving board.<\/p>\n

He simply stood there, arms folded, watching his father with a calmness that broke my heart while making me proud at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will listen to me!\u201d Jordan yelled. \u201cOr else, I\u2019ll\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t you dare,\u201d I said, moving between them. \u201cYou don\u2019t get to yell at these children. Not after everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will listen to me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re my children too!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen start acting like it. Or leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

He glanced around the yard and finally noticed what I had already understood.<\/p>\n

Every guest had fallen silent.<\/p>\n

Every neighbor was staring.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet off my property, Jordan.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re my children too!\u201d<\/p>\n

He opened his mouth, then shut it again.<\/p>\n

I watched him walk away, shoulders slumped, leaving the box behind on the patio table.<\/p>\n

Someone standing near the grill murmured,<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another neighbor silently shook his head.<\/p>\n

And for the first time in months, I managed to take a complete breath.<\/p>\n

I suddenly noticed Clark was still standing right beside me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although his job was technically finished, he hadn\u2019t moved even one step away.<\/p>\n

His hand lightly touched mine.<\/p>\n

Neither of us moved away.<\/p>\n

Ethan rushed over once Jordan had disappeared.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou okay, Mom?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI\u2019m more than okay, sweetheart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither of us moved away.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Clark waited until the final guests wandered back toward the pool before stepping closer.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like my contract officially expired five minutes ago,\u201d he said with a crooked grin.<\/p>\n

I laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes that mean you\u2019re going home?\u201d<\/p>\n

He studied me for a moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly if you want me to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like my contract officially expired five minutes ago,\u201d<\/p>\n

I felt warmth spread across my cheeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent months convinced no decent man could ever look at me the way you acted like you did today.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Clark smiled gently.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the funny thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t acting nearly as much as you believe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t acting nearly as much as you believe.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a moment, I simply stared at him.<\/p>\n

He rubbed the back of his neck.<\/p>\n

Suddenly appearing much less confident than the actor I\u2019d hired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you let me take you out to dinner next weekend?\u201d<\/p>\n

I glanced toward the gate where Jordan had vanished, then back at the man who remained beside me.<\/p>\n

For a moment, I simply stared at him.<\/p>\n

One had spent years making me feel unseen.<\/p>\n

The other had spent one afternoon reminding me I wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

I smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d love that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clark held out his arm with an exaggerated flourish.<\/p>\n

Laughing, I slipped my arm through his.<\/p>\n

For the first time in a very long while, I no longer had to pretend I was happy.<\/p>\n
