"mommy do you like my drawing?" my four year old daughter asked me as we were drawing. i looked at her and gave her a warm smile.

"it looks beautiful, rosie. but i think we should clean up our coloring stuff. daddy will be here in a little while." i told her. she smiled, brightly.

"yay, i'm going to daddy's!" she cheered. i chuckled as she began to put away her crayons.

i was glad that rosie was rarely caught in the middle after the divorce. it was the last thing i had wanted when we signed the divorce papers. things just didn't work out in our marriage, and there was no sense of staying together if it wasn't going to work out. especially when we had rosie to take care of.

tyler and i still got along very well, and we were still friends. we never really had disagreements, honestly. part of me always wondered deep down if we still actually loved each other, but i didn't bring it up. that could end badly and we didn't need that.

"mommy can you put my picture on the fridge? i'm very proud proud of it." rosie requested. i nodded.

"of course i can, let me go do that now." i went out to the kitchen and put the drawing on the fridge next to the picture of tyler, rosie, and i from rosie's first concert during the takeover tour. rosie was only a year and a half still, and it was six months before the divorce. i knew it was a bit odd to have a picture of my ex husband on my fridge, but the three of us we're so happy and rosie loved the picture.

*ding dong*

"daddy!" rosie called. she ran to the front door and opened the door for her father. when the door opened, she jumped into his arms and hugged him.

"hello to you too, kiddo." tyler chuckled. he walked the two of them inside and made eye contact with me.

"hey, jenn." tyler greeted me. i smiled.

"hi, ty." i replied.

"i'm gonna go grab my baggie from upstairs!" rosie announced, disappearing. tyler smiled and looked at me.

"so what have you been up to?" he asked me. i shrugged.

"not a lot. just spending time with ro and working." i replied. tyler's face grew a bit red and i realized he had something on his mind.

"jenna, i have a question for you. but i need you to be open minded, okay?"

"of course. what's up, ty?"

"will you go on a date with me?"

that was far from what i was expecting.

"a..what?"

"bringing up the idea if divorcing was one of the biggest mistakes i've ever made. i didn't realize how much i was in love with you until i woke up in bed alone. i know we've already been divorced for two years and you might not feel the same about me that you did all those years ago, but if you might then i needed to tell you. i still love you, jenna."

i could've said no. i could've told him it was too late and he lost his chance. but it wasn't too late and i was still in love with him.

"i still have feelings for you too, tyler. i always have." i admitted. tyler's eyes widened in shock. it made me smile.

"you do?" he asked me.

"of course."

"ready to go, daddy?" rosie asked, walking down the stairs.
