It's been a month since mine and Matthew's shared night at my apartment. Since then, I've been falling harder and harder for him. The way he looks at me. The way he talks to me. They way he touches me.
Everything is perfect.
I've finally admitted to myself that I love him. I'm completely head over heels in love with this man.
Matthew has invited me back to Los Angeles with him, and excitement fills my body. I walk into the elevator and press the button to his floor. All I want is a hug from him. The elevator dings and I hurriedly walk out to his room. I'm a couple feet away from it when I see the door open. I watch Matthew and a familiar blonde walk out. My stomach drops.
Carrie. His wife.
She's latched onto his side and staring down at her phone talking about something. Matthew and I make eye contact. He gives me a pained look. I continue to walk past him, and our eyes don't leave each other's until I turn a corner. I lean against the wall behind me and place my hand over my mouth to cover my sob. I can feel my heart shatter. I slide down the wall and pull my knees into my chest.
I should've seen this day coming. It had to happen sooner or later. I told myself that I'd be able to handle it. I could just walk away, but I can't. Now I'm here crying in a hotel room hallway.
Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't he let me know?
I calm myself down and pick myself up. I wipe my tears away and brush out the wrinkles in my clothes. I'll just head back home.
I walk back into the parking lot to wait for my ride when I feel a pair of arms pull me to the side of the building. I let out a gasp and I turn around to see the last face I want to see.

"Lydia, I'm so sorry. She wasn't supposed to be here. She flew out to surprise me. This wasn't supposed to happen, baby-"
"Don't call me that." I cut him off and I see hurt cross his face. I quickly wipe away the tears that leave my eyes as they fall.
"I'm going back home, Matthew." I push past him and rush into my ride.
I knew what I was getting myself into. This is how it ends.

8 207Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?
