Still Human
Release Day Blast
Synopsis
Danny and Liv are back...
Danny loves Liv. He knows he loves her more than she loves
him because she ran without a word when she saw their future mapped out before
her. He knows he will never love anyone like he loved her and this time he
doesn’t think he can move on.
Liv loves Danny. She knows she loves him more than he loves
her because he broke her heart in the worst possible way, right when things
were falling into place. She knows she will never love anyone like she loves
him and this time she doesn’t think she can move on.
They needed a second chance because they just weren’t ready
for their first, but when events changed everything between them, they
discovered they were just human after all. Now Liv and Danny have to find a way
to survive being hurt by each other.
They doubted, they underestimated and they did believe the
worst, but only because they were too young the first time and too vulnerable
the second time. But now they have changed and if they are not the same, surely
things can only turn out differently?

Excerpt
Scott is
up, dressed and looking particularly chipper when I arrive laden down with
groceries.
“Wow! You
realise it’s A.M. right?” I rib as I put the groceries down.
“Yeah,
yeah,” he dismisses.
“So how
are you?” asks Jen with her well-rehearsed tone.
“I’m
doing okay,” I say, trying not to brush her off. I know she is worried about
me, but I can’t do what she wants me to do. I’m not chasing Liv. Jen has tried
cajoling, nagging, yelling and crying. There is only bribery left, but she
seems to have risen above that. She wants me to be happy, but she is wrong
about how I can achieve that. I should have left the whole thing alone. But I
went against my gut and this is the result. I won’t make that mistake again.
I’m staying put. Screw Liv.
“Working
hard?’ Jen asks, this is more of an accusation.
“Yes,” I
say like a sulky teen. “But it’s what I need right now. Anyway, I need the
money…I’ve a huge credit card bill to pay.” I joke, referring to the ring. But
there is little humor to be found, even when the joke is my own. I sigh. How
did I become the guy with two unwanted engagement rings to his name?
Jen
doesn’t push further.
“So whose
turn is it to cook?” I ask, knowing full well it’s mine, I’m just trying to
change the subject. Jen rolls her eyes and sets about making coffee. Scott
takes the morning papers over to the table, his usual position. I’ve no idea
when he became exempt from cooking, but Jen and I take turns.
I get on
with mixing the batter, it’s second nature now, and Jen and I move about the
kitchen in perfect sync with one another. I wonder distantly, how I thought it
would be easy to give this up and move. I love these guys.
We make Scott do all the donkey work after
breakfast; it’s only fair that he cleans up. Jen and I poke fun at him for our
own amusement, from where we sit in the garden.
“I’m just not used to seeing him this alert on
a Saturday morning,” I tease.
“We went
for a walk on the beach this morning,” Jen says with a knowing look. “We had
stuff to talk about.”
“And?” I
ask, knowing full well the subject they needed to discuss. They have been back
and forth all week on this sperm donor thing. I know Jen is terrified, but
Scott sees it as no big deal and just wants to get on with it. I really admire
the guy; hell, it’s quite a dent in the old masculinity. But as far as he is
concerned, it’s just a blip. Any child that is conceived as a result would be
his and his alone. Jen has just read one bad example and it has her all in
knots. She’s worried that Scott won’t feel connected to the baby and she’ll be
left all alone. That just wouldn’t happen.
Scott
joins us just then and they smile at each other. “I talked her around,” Scott
says, never taking his eyes off Jen as he sits beside her. God, he loves her.
“That’s
great!’ I exclaim and put my arms around Jen lifting her slightly out of her
chair. “So what happens now?”
“Well…we
start looking,” she says with a nervous smile. “It’s a long process and we need
a few months to figure out my ovulation issues.”
Okay,
here goes. I can’t handle any more rejection this week. “I don’t know the best
way to approach this,” I say, looking them in the eye in turn. “But, when you’re
ready, I was hoping you would consider me.”
