This story breaks my heart and that last scene with Ollie putting Connor to bed and telling him he's sorry he wasn't there and that he loved him before he was a possibility...*sobs*
All right, let's see if I can be coherent while I'm crying. I really loved how interested Ollie was in the soccer game and how almost desperate he was to know what was going on every step of the way. All the questions he kept asking Chloe and the way he couldn't take his eyes off Connor was just so sweet. But I feel so bad for him because he missed so much and he's trying so hard to cram everything in at once.
And of course there's another misunderstanding just from the "beat girls off the porch" comment. I doubt Ollie meant it the way Chloe took it, but I'm not surprised she started to withdraw back into herself. *frustrated sigh* I get why she wants to protect herself and her heart because she mistakenly thinks that Ollie is still with Dinah, but at the same time, I wish she would be less defensive. But it's Chloe, so I get it.
Aw, I love that Connor wanted to show off his soccer games and that he seemed really excited when he was telling Ollie about the plays he made. I like that he's slowly letting him in (you know, until he sees him touching his mom and then he's over it). But OMG, the bath conversation destroyed me. I felt so bad for Connor when he was wondering why his dad never came to see him and my heart just melted when he asked Ollie if he thought he had more kids and another family.
This line? “I think your dad still loves your mom, yes.” So perfect...not that I doubted for a second that Ollie still loved Chloe, but the way he answered Connor's question...*dreamy sigh*
Again, you totally broke me when Ollie went downstairs after that and he was barely keeping it together. I loved that he hugged Chloe and that she actually let him and they had a nice moment even though they were both mentally getting the wrong idea that the other one wasn't into it. (Seriously, someone needs to knock their heads together until they get some sense in them).
I loved the family moment on the couch and how natural it seemed for them...until Chloe heard herself talking on the video and realized when the game took place. My heart broke a little bit for her there too. I can't really blame her for wanting to turn it off after that.
Seriously, I can't stress enough how much this story moves me. You're doing such an amazing job of showcasing the pain and all the conflicting emotions that they're feeling and even though it's so frustrating that they're not just honest with each other, they wouldn't be Chloe and Oliver if they didn't beat around the bush and try to keep their emotions in check...especially after six years of unintentionally hurting each other.

I need to go cry some more. ♥
