but wonder what had happened to Caige before he met me. I had never heard him talk about heartbreak before. Did someone break his heart and was that why he didn’t date anymore? It would make sense. I would have to ask Faith–she’s known Caige longer than I have.
    “I love you too. Thank you for helping me through this, Caige, I don’t know what I would do if you guys weren’t here. Can we get ice cream and watch Netflix all day? I am going back to work tomorrow, but today I just want to be a lazy bum and forget.”
    “You got it. I will go to the store and get you some ice cream. We are out. Do you want me to pick up a bottle of vodka on my way?”
    “No thanks, I have been so drunk the last two days that I am surprised I am not still hungover. I need to work tomorrow, and it would suck showing up still drunk.”
    While I waited for Caige to come back I checked my e-mails and caught up on some work. I wanted to get a head start on things before going back to work. I was interrupted by my phone going off and saw that it was my mom calling.
    “Hey, Mom. What’s up?”
    “Hey, Skye, I just wanted to check up on you? How is Colorado? How is Oliver?”
    “Umm... I am back at home, Mom. I don’t want to talk about it right now but I promise I will come by this weekend and explain everything.”
    “Did you finally dump that guy? I always told you he wasn’t good enough for you.”
    Anna Donovan didn’t miss a beat when it came to letting you know that she didn’t like someone. Though she had accepted my engagement she had never liked Oliver. She tolerated him but that was about as far as it went. Maybe I should have listened to her from the beginning.
    “Mom, I love you. I am starting to think I should’ve listened to you about Oliver. I found out that he was cheating on me while I was planning the wedding here. So I left him and came home early. Paisley wants me to tell you hello and she misses you. Do you want to have lunch Saturday? We can meet up and I can explain everything to you.”
    “Sounds good, I am sorry that your ex fiancé is a cheating douchebag. You should’ve kicked his ass. Though I didn’t like him I wish it would have ended differently. Do you want to tell Dad or should I?”
    My father, Pete, was a kind man but when it came to his family he wasn’t someone to mess with. I wouldn’t put it past him to get on the next flight and personally kill Oliver.
    “I will tell him. You know he will be on the next flight to Colorado if he can’t see for himself that I will be okay.”
    “Yeah you are right. I will leave it to you. Plus he is in a good mood and I would like it to stay that way. Maybe I can talk him into a date night. Well anyways I got to get back to work. I love you, babygirl.”
    “Love you too, Mom. See you Saturday at lunch.”
    I went to my room and changed into my pajama pants. If I was going to be a bum I might as well be comfortable.
    “Did you get lost on your way to the store? What took you so long?”
    “I ran into an old friend. He asked if I wanted to show him around town since he just moved here. We talked for a while and we are all meeting him on Saturday at Cowboys. Before you try to say no, you’re going. You need a distraction and what better way to do that than to dance the night away?”
    “I don’t have a choice do I?”
    “Nope. Now what do you want to watch?”
    Caige and I spent all day lounging around on the couch watching some show about a motorcycle club. I wasn’t really interested but he insisted that I needed to watch this. Faith had left shortly after we got home. I wondered if she would be home tonight. She had a tendency of leaving for days without letting anybody know where she was. I had come to accept it and stopped worrying about her. She would let me know when she had problems.
    “Don’t be mad but I am going to go bed. I want to go into work early tomorrow so I can get caught up. Plus I scheduled a meeting with a client for
