understanding. Tasha was still suffering from a broken heart and although she had set her up with a couple of guys she knew, it became clear that Tasha was not looking for someone because she still had him in her heart. It was always the ones that couldn’t be had that were wanted the most. Tasha was no exception, but her cousin hated to see her struggling so.
“Why don’t you call him? See how he is?”
Tasha shook her head. “I can’t. Besides, he is probably in jail by now. People don’t just walk from drug and murder charges. Not legally anyways.”
“So, what if he came here right now and asked you to run away with him?”
Tasha paused and sent Angie a look. She knew how she felt and if she answered the way she should, her cousin would see right through her. “Exactly, Tosh. You got it bad.”
“I know but there is nothing that can be done. I have Jonell to think about. I can’t bring that kind of stuff into his life. What kind of mother would I be if I did?”
In reality, Tasha wanted a way for that very thing to happen. If there was a way, she wanted to know it. But Angie had nothing new for her and she was left wanting what she couldn’t have. At least, she thought, they would always have that one perfect night and day together. It may just be enough to get her through. In some ways Tasha was just happy she had felt it at all, even if it was scarily fleeting.

A week later, Tasha got a call from her old babysitter from the city. Maya called to catch up and see how Jonell was doing. Tasha could tell that she had something else to talk about. “Tosh, are you still getting the Herald?”
“No, why?”
“You would never believe who I just ran into, who was on the cover of it.”
Tasha was silent, not sure where she was going. She missed her dramatic flair, but it was trying sometimes. “Out with it, Maya.”
“Okay, chica, don’t get your panties in a bunch. I will just read you the headline. ‘Billionaire Exonerated as Uncle is Taken Away in Handcuffs."
She thought of Demitri. Surely she was not talking about Demitri! “Demitri?”
“Well of course, silly. I told you he wasn’t a drug dealer.”
“No, you didn’t. You told me to get as far away from him as possible.”
“Okay I did, but now you have to call him. He asked about you when he realized who I was. I told him you moved and you should have seen the way his face turned white. I am telling you, Tasha, you better call that man. Rich men like that don’t just fall out of the sky.”
“I don’t care if he’s rich.”
“You should. But if you aren’t going to be practical, he brought you back your necklace.”
Maya was a sucker for a love story and she secretly wanted Tasha back in the city. She missed them and the best job she had ever had. “Come on. Check out the article. He was basically set up, so he is still the good guy. No gangster.”
Tasha felt a surge of hope in her heart. She got off the phone with her and she felt lighter than she had in months. If what she said was true, maybe there was a chance for them after all. She found the article that Maya had told her about online. Tasha stared at his face for several minutes before she could even read through the words. After she was done, she got up and went to go find her phone. She had to talk to him.

After the third ring, Tasha prepared for the machine. Then he picked up and she was frozen, not knowing what to say. It had been months and even hearing his hello made her heart race in her chest. God she had missed him.
“Tasha? Is that you?”
“Um yeah, Demitri. How are you?”
“I am good. I have been waiting for you to call. I miss you.”
There it was, raw emotion and it tugged at her heart. It was exactly how she was feeling and what she had wanted to say. “I miss you too.”
“So you heard I'm not a drug dealer
