The nouvelle Nouvel Legacy

I soon adjusted to life with a toddler. Dominick was growing up so quickly. It seemed like every day he learned something new.

Before we knew it, he was running everywhere and jabbering up a storm.

My maternity leave was almost up so I made sure to get some guitar practice in. Dominick was my biggest fan.

My life was moving on in other aspects as well. After our disastrous confrontation at Dominick’s party, things between Danial and I had settled a bit. We handled the termination of rights through lawyers and pretty much ignored each other on the rare occasions when he was in town. With that weight off my mind, I felt ok to start dating again. I reconnected with August Lobos, another old high school friend who ended up in the theater biz. August worked with the band but preferred designing album covers and t-shirts. He was so fine, tan with sandy blond hair and gorgeous emerald eyes. I think he had more groupies than the lead singer of the Gnomes.

August didn’t notice all of the attention he was getting. In fact, he seemed to be interested in only one thing, me.  He told me he’d had a crush on me since high school and wondered if I could see him as more than a friend.

I was really wary about starting a relationship. I didn’t have any experience with that sort of thing. Danial and I had been a one-night stand and not even all night if you know what I mean. I didn’t even have a real good example from my parents. Their relationship was definitely not normal but it worked for them.  But August was so hot! It was impossible to resist. So I gave him a kiss and asked if we could take things slow and easy.

Well maybe not too slow. After all I still need an heir.
