Chapter 3
The next couple of days Nora and Matthew spent with Rachel, watching her graduate. She was so proud of her daughter she had grown in to such an amazing adult. Nora and Matthew left Rachel to having fun with her friends and headed to the park. Nora watched Matthew from a bench and then she heard the ice cream truck. Before she could react, Matthew little legs were moving towards the sound.
“MATTHEW STOP!”
She got up and ran to him, but she wasn’t able to move fast. He disappeared.
“MATTHEW!”
She then heard a voice.
“Whoa little guy where do you think you are going? I HAVE YOUR SON”
Nora stopped and breathed a sigh; she walked to the direction of the voice.

“Oh that is right, that is great, she is such a great kid.”

“Yeah, she is.”
They both were quiet for bit. Matthew wiggled down and headed to the park again. Nora looked at him.
“Want to sit on the bench with me?”
“uh, sure.”
Bo followed her to the bench, they both sat in silence watching Matthew play.
“He’s cute.”
Nora smiled.

Nora smiled.
“I know.”
“So what are you doing now?”
“Still a defense lawyer. Not much of a social life with a two year old around.”
Bo smiled.
“How is” he cleared his throat. “How is Sam?”
“Ummm not real sure, haven't seen him in a long time.”
Bo looked at her confused.
“Aren’t you two together? I mean Matthew.”
Nora took a deep breath.
“No we aren’t, I don’t really want to discuss it Bo.”
“ok, are you with anyone else?”
“No”
Before Bo could say anything Matthew came running up to them.
“Mommy can I have ice cream?”
Bo laughed.
“Well he is your son.”
She smiled.
“Yeah baby we can do that.”
Matthew looked over at Bo.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Bo.”
“I am Matthew.”
“I know.”
“You know my mommy?”
Bo looked over to her; she gave him a small smile.
“Yeah, we were really good friends a long time ago.”
“Do you want to get ice cream?”
Bo looked at her in shock.
“I uh, I mean, I am”
"Bo come.”
Bo took a deep breath and looked at her.
“Ok.”
