So, naturally, as I carried the package to the kitchen, I assumed it was from him.
Until I used scissors to cut through the thick tape. Inside, I found a beautifully embroidered pillow with a note tucked underneath. It matched our living room décor perfectly.
Happy Anniversary, Josh and Kate! – Taylor.
For a moment, I appreciated the thoughtful gesture. But then I remembered that there was no way Josh would accept this gift.
“Hey, what’s this?” Josh asked, coming back into the kitchen with Emily on his shoulders. “Did we order something?”
“It’s a gift,” I said cautiously. “From your father.”
Josh took the note from me, his eyes scanning the paper.
I wondered what he would do. Josh and his father had a very complicated relationship. When Josh was a child, Taylor had abandoned him and his mother.
He had been involved with another woman, and when it came down to choosing, Taylor chose the other woman.
