blossoming love.
Later that evening, when Benjamin had returned home. He received a text message from Camille that said, “Goodnight Adam, from your Eve. I feel it too.” With that he screamed Thank you Jesus to the top of his lungs and did a Holy Dance in his home office. Then he settled down and texted back. “Goodnight, My Eve, I love you.”
Camille could not stop the tears as she read “Goodnight, My Eve, I love you.” She asked the Lord to give her the strength and wisdom to be what He wanted her to be and to show her how to be what Ben needed her to be. She then texted back a happy face and “sweet dreams.”

Earlier that Evening at Capriccios Restaurant
Dawn and Autumn had taken Nikki to some of the downtown toy shops to start their spoiling of her, right away. Therefore, it was only Shayla and Frankie left at the table drinking coffee, after their meal and dessert. Shayla began the conversation with, “Nikki is a beautiful little girl, very intelligent for the rough start her life had. But she is cut from your cloth and we will help her develop to be a young lady, as Dawn and Autumn are.”
Frankie could not believe his ears, “what rough start are you speaking of Shayla?” He asked with an attitude and raised eyebrows.
Shayla, smiled and said, “Don’t get upset. I just mean clearly her mother lacks judgment. You said yourself you were not notified about the pregnancy and birth of Nikki, because she did not know your complete government name.”
Frankie said firmly, “Shayla, I did not know hers either and between Nikki’s two parents, Karen is by far, the most fit. My little girl is smart and not lacking in any area, because of her mother. Karen may have made a mistake one night with me, but since then, she has been EVERY WOMAN to Nikki and herself.”
“Frankie please lower your voice, you barely know this girl. Yet you parade her in here, like she is some angel sent from above. Don’t forget who has been there for you. Me and our girls have been to hell and back with you; not Miss one-night stand.”
Frankie sighed, and said “there it is.”
“There what is?” Shayla said firmly.
“You are jealous.”
“What do I have to be jealous of Frankie? Tell me”
You, my dear Shayla, are jealous that I have found something with Karen. Yes, our first night together was less than ideal but we made someone beautiful together. For the first time in our lives, you had nothing to do with something wonderful for me and you can’t handle it.”
Shayla was shaken at his bluntness. Since being sober, Frankie had never had cross words with her. He always treated her with respect as his ex-wife and children’s mother. If ever he didn’t, it was because of drinking and/or drugs. But this Frankie, was stone sober and their relationship was ending right before her eyes. Pure hatred swelled in her chest for Karen and Nikki. How could he think of moving on? No she did not want to remarry him because of the Hell of his addiction but she was not going to marry anyone else. Since his recovery, they were better than ever, sharing everything, being there for the girls. A couple of times, they even made love and that did not change the nature of their new friendship. How could Frank move on with some tramp who got high and drunk and conceived a bastard child? Nikki was nothing more than a whining little crack head herself. No she would not allow it, nor would she continue to sit here and let Frankie treat her this way. She began gathering her things as she spoke, “Frankie, you go ahead and play family with this little girl. When you find yourself lost drunk and alone, just remember it was you, who chose this.” Shayla with her purse under her arm, stood and stormed out of the restaurant. She had ridden in with her daughters, so she called a car service and left alone.
Frankie was amazed that Shayla would not want him to find happiness. Surely, she did not think their friendship with occasional
