Chapter 26 -Lola- The drapes allowed some light from the sun to shine through .
It was obvious that the overcast weather of October had not yet lifted from the landscape .
I struggled to keep my eyes open as the bright sunlight heat down on my face since I really needed more rest .
The loud blaring of the alarm , on the other hand , prevented me from getting any more sleep .
I slowly sat up in bed and gazed around at the unfamiliar surroundings while I was in a haze .
Where exactly am 17 1 scratched the back of my head and took another glance at the environment .
It took some time before I finally registered that I was at my new residence in Ozark .
Its strange how difficult it can be to readjust to a new environment right away .
I couldnt help but crack a smile at the prospect of a fresh new day .
I made my way up to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see whether I needed to go out and get some groceries .
Of course , I did need to go out and get some groceries , but before I could do that , I wanted to eat something first .
I put on an apron and began to make breakfast before heading to the stores .
My stomach began to rumble as the toast began to sizzle and the irresistible aroma of the butter began to float across the air .
I seated myself at the table , plated some food for myself , and then began to eat .
When I looked at the time on my wristwatch , I was reminded that I had an appointment with Matthew and the new employees he had hired .
Mathew is a man in his middle years whom I entrusted with the management of my flower shop in New York while I was away .
We havent met yet , but I trust his judgment .
The fact that the shop has been profitable has taken me completely by surprise .
I grabbed the keys to my car and drove to the shopping center .
When I got to the shopping center , I spotted an empty parking spot and parked my car there .
Then , I entered the shopping center and found a cart to use for my shopping .
Its a relief to finally be here .
I wont sugarcoat it ; its going to be a challenge , but Im prepared to meet it head on .
While I was shopping for the stuff I needed , such as food , plates , and glasses , I maneuvered my supermarket trolley around the store .
I had plates , but then I needed to add more .
I maneuvered my go kart to the area with the household appliances , and as I reached out with my hand to grab a kettle , I noticed that someone else was doing the same thing .
I tilted my head to the side in order to look at the other individual , who was reaching for the same kettle as me .
Ghosh ! I froze for a moment .
He was handsome .
The man relinquished his grip on the kettle .
Im sorry .
I just love this brand .
I smiled .
He smiled at me as he looked in my direction .
After that , he continued by asking , How far ? I was really confused by what he was saying to me , so I just kept staring at him in silence .
He made a gesture , pointing to my stomach .
How far are you ? I felt like a fool now .
I even forgot I was pregnant .
Oh , sorry , three months .
That really looks good on you .
Despite this , you appear to be five months pregnant already .
I formed a frown .
Do I actually appear to be that big ? Well , maybe I do , considering that in New York I used to wear bigger clothes to hide my pregnancy .
I just couldnt help but wonder why Dante never picked up on anything the last time we shared a bed together .
I was hoping for him to notice and for him to tell me everything was going to be okay and that we were going to raise our children together , but Dante didnt notice anything .
Even though it hurts , I have no choice but to leave .

His eyes became wide .
My name is Mason .
Im Lola .
I havent seen you around .
Are you new ? Yeah , I just moved .
I arrived yesterday .
I recently purchased a home that is situated not far from both the mountains and the coast I smirked .
Miss Lola , it seems like youre getting everything I desire , despite my best efforts .
* What exactly do you mean by that ? To tell you the truth , I was born and raised right here in Ozark .
A few months ago , I was eyeing the house , but I didnt know it was on the market .
The day I decided to ask around , I was told it was bought by someone coming from New York City .
I was angry then , but now , well , since I met the buyer , Im no longer angry .

He let out a chuckle .
And just now , the same buyer purchased my kettle as well ! We shared a laugh together .
Im sorry for taking everything that belongs to you , Mason .
He waved his hand .
Dont mention it .
Ill see you around, Lola , and I want to extend a warm welcome to Ozark .
He gave a grin before going away .
