An Old Beginning

Chapter 33

Gerard leaned against the wall, staring out the window into his backyard.
The sun was setting, and he could feel his heart breaking. Naomi left today. Gerard desperately needed a drink, but it was decided that Michael would stay with him until she was set up in Chicago, and he would never drink with his child in the same house.

He watched as the final rays of light fell from the sky, leaving the world looking hazy and gray. Leaving Gerard's life hazy and gray. He’d never felt so lost, not even when he found out Naomi was gone, the first time. Now she was gone again, and there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about it. She’s made her decision, and he wasn’t what she wanted.
