*dirty thoughts*

    Hugh shook his head sharply, looking closely at his wife. She was avoiding his gaze. And suddenly, he knew. They were talking about two entirely different things.
    “Why don’t bạn start from the beginning?” He asked gently, inwardly bracing himself. Jo nodded, to all intents and purposes looking as calm as ever. Only Hugh knew, from unfortunate experience, that it was all a show. She was panicked. She spoke.
    “I met someone.”



    “Um—” Hugh gaped at her, his mind...

Ok, boys and girls... there is some strong language in this chapter... bạn have been warned! (Also, fun fact: this story as a whole is now 65 pages long!)

    Padding around the house barefoot, Hugh made a ghostly looking specter. His pale face floated up one hallway and down another, the image aided from the steam rising out of his coffee mug as he waited for it to cool. Not a single person would blame the man for wanting a real drink at this point, but Hugh had always avoided strong spirits, for a number of reasons. Tonight the hàng đầu, đầu trang few went a little...

The Christmas-hiatus was very long. Hugh went back to England to celebrate giáng sinh with his children, however it was a little weird to be « alone » with the kids. He and Jo have already filed for divorce and the divorce should be pronounced in a few weeks.
Now, he’s back in L.A. and all he can think about is … Lisa. Why hasn’t she waited still a few months ! Why did she meet and ngày Robert right now ? He’ll be free in a few weeks ! Free to tell her how much he loves her, how many times he dreamt he was making tình yêu with her, kissing her …« Com’on, boy, nothing is lost, bạn still...

    It wasn’t Lisa.
    A very similar accent floated back at him, a voice he had not heard in some time…
    “James. Have bạn finished for the night?”
    Hugh’s voice nearly cracked, and he tensed his diaphragm as hard as it would go to stop it. “Jo. I didn’t know bạn were—what are bạn doing here?”

    Lisa turned off the water in the vòi hoa sen and leaned her forehead against the wall, letting tiny rivulets drip down out of her hair onto her shoulders,...

Ok... had really hoped to be able to make the big 4-0 some kind of wonderful earth shaking chapter, but alas, it was not to be... also, I'm sorry it's so short, but geez was it hard to write!

    Quite a few hours later, Hugh entered his trailer and collapsed on his đi văng in complete and total exhaustion. The scenes had gone well, he knew, but it had taken thêm tries than it usually did. David and Katie were eager to attribute it to the end of the season and “senioritis,” if bạn want to call it that… Hugh knew better. And then, Robert had caught him after they...

Dear huligans:

I have discovered that I had totally the wrong name for Lisa's dog! Apparently it is named Shazam, and I've been calling it Kapow all this time (of all things to screw up... lol) so please note that from now on, if the dog makes an appearance, it will have its correct name.

    “Whatever it is, just—say it quickly,” Lisa mumbled emptily, still playing with the glass baubles from the coffee table. Hugh stopped in front of her, shifting his weight slightly.
