Chapter 28: Everything is Fine

ELLIE

As I baked that afternoon, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. 

He'd been jealous. 

And he wouldn't be jealous if he didn't have any feelings for me. 

I hadn't realized how much knowing that would affect me. 

My whole body felt light and alive, like it was going to float away. 

Cohen didn't hate me. 

Cohen liked me. 

And now I knew for sure that the feeling was very mutual. 

I liked Cohen. 

I didn't know what it meant, and I was pretty certain that nothing would come of it. Cohen may like me, but I was pretty sure that he didn't know what to do with those feelings. Hell, I didn't know what to do with them. I was still leaving once my Little Monster was born. 

A pang gripped my heart, and I sighed. 

I was going to leave my baby and Cohen and never see either of them again. 

For the first time, I hated that stupid contract. I couldn’t regret signing it since it was the reason Kate was better, but it also felt like a mistake in so many ways.
