“What do you mean?” her brows furrow as I close the door behind her, then drift down the hallway to the busy dining room.

“I got caught with Ezra,” and I swallow the bile back down.

“What?” her eyes widen and I know she is trying to play catch up. “What do you mean?” she repeats her earlier question.

“Flora,” my eyes burn into hers before I look over my shoulder. “I got caught by my son with his best friend fucking me from behind,” my throat burns and she shakes her head from side to side.

“I don't...” she pauses and I see the fucking realisation hit her in the face.“How?! Why!?” And I shake my head, tears rolling down my cheeks.

“Callum is furious with me…” and he has also been so kind and understanding in some fucked way.

“And Ezra?” Flora asks, stepping towards me, sympathy etched over her face.

“Ezra doesn’t want anything to change… but…” I shrug my shoulder up and I have no idea how I should be feeling.

“Oh, good god,” she face palms herself just as Harper stands at the doorway. Flora nods her head for Harper to come here.“Go get the girls and meet me in Edward’s office… we have a situation.”

Harper toddles off, disappearing just as Flora ushers me into the office and my heart is racing in my chest.

She sits me down on Edward's office chair as she begins to pace.

Within seconds, they're all here.

All with confused looks on their faces.

“Do you love him?” Flora asks and another tear rolls down my cheek. I nod.

“Does someone want to catch us up?” Harper's eyes bounce between myself and Flora.

Flora sighs, looking at me and I give her a nod.

“Lily has been sleeping with Callum's best friend, Ezra.”

“Nice,” Hallie smirks, lips pinching into a pout and Taylor rolls her eyes, shoving her in the shoulder.

“Are you okay?” Bella asks, walking towards me and crouching down in front of me.

“I have no idea...” I admit when the doorbell rings and the girls all look between themselves before Flora disappears.“I love him,” I admit, my chest aching.

“Then don't let him go,” Harper smiles at me and my heart swells.

“It's not that simple.”

“Callum will get over it.”

I know she isn't wrong.

He will.

“But what if I lose him?”

“You won't,” Callum's voice echoes around the room and I blink a couple of times as if in disbelief.

“Callum?” I whisper, tears tainting my vision as I push up from the chair and run towards him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“I'm not going anywhere mum,” he mutters into my shoulder and I am sobbing, I lift my eyes to see Ezra standing there, head tilted and a soft smile on his lips.

He lets me go, giving me a soft nod before Ezra steps forward, cupping my face in his large hands and slanting his lips over mine.
