SPLAT!

You groan and run a hand over your face in annoyance at the banana flavored mush on the ground. Your son, Arden, giggles and looks up at you. It's as if he finds your irritation amusing. You shake your head. Like father, like son.

You just finish cleaning up the baby food mishap on the ground when there's a knock at your front door. Not thinking much of it, you leave the kitchen and go to the door, unlocking it. When you push it open to see who it is, your heart instantly leaps into your throat.

It's him. Kieran. The unfortunate father of your child. Your ex. He left you while you were pregnant with Arden. He didn't even explain. He just...left a note saying he needed to leave. But now he's here at your doorstep. Why?

Kieran's steely gray eyes lock on you. As intense as you remember them. They give you chills. After a stretch of silence, Kieran's gruff voice pierces your ears.

"...We need to talk."
