William's POV:
I was a bit surprised when Caroline told me not to wipe her tears there, I thought she didn't want to be seen having her tears wiped in public, I wondered, she didn't mind to be seen crying yet she didn't want to be seen having her tears wiped? What made my heart leap was that she gave me her address and offered to meet me in the afternoon, then we parted.
Not long had we parted, I received a message from Jarrod telling me he was here and wanted to meet me as soon as possible...

Jarrod fell asleep not !omg after I did.
I was woken up by the sounds of Jarrod doing his exercises. I lied there pretending to be asleep hoping he wouldn't notice as I didn't want to distract him. As soon as he finished his exercises I saw him starting to bring the luggage to the car. As soon as he was outside I quickly got .up and pit on the blue t-shirt and shorts outfit he had bought me. As soon as he came back in I noticed he couldn't stop staring at my body.
He then asked me if I'd like to drive to wish I was taken aback.
"I can't really focus properly to drive today with the task at hand bugging the back of my mind." He explained.
"Sure. I'd love to." I piped up quickly heading out to the car.
As we were driving I felt Jarrod's hands on my leg caressing every inch seemingly trying to memorize every inch and detail. I knew how much he loved my legs but I think this time he was doing it to distract himself from the upcoming task at hand.
We arrived to the hotel at 9 but since it was too early to check in we decided to get some breakfast as we decided not to stop for a bite on the way. We noticed the hotel had a breakfast/brunch bar in a room next to the lobby so we stopped in for a bite.
After we finished eating Jarrod asked me if I'd mind driving to his brother's house despite how early it was.
"Sure, but why so early? He's not going to be home for a couple hrs." I asked curiously.
"I'd like to get there before him so I can have a chat with his wife Anna and get her side of the story." Jarrod said as he got up and proceeded to leave heading towards the car.
As soon as we got close to Jarrod's brother's house Jarrod texted his brother to let him know he was there (never mentioning anything about me).

Invited me in
Anna's pov:
"Hey Jarrod surprised to see you. What brings you here? What the heck, care to come in and we can talk?" I asked still surprised Jarrod was there.
Saying nothing, not even mentioning Camilla was in the car parked on the street just below the house I followed her inside.

When we reach the living room I tell her in a serious, yet caring voice "I heard about William, you know you can always count on me, regardless of William being my brother, I know how stubborn and impulsive he can be at times. Yet, he is a good person".
I look at her eyes...

She almost looks lost.
Anna's pov:
Jarrod tells me he knows about what his brother has been up to. He also tries to tell me despite it all he's still a good person. I'm not she how to take it as I didn't even know anyone knew.
"I appreciate that. Really. I know you'd do anything for your brother, that means being there for his wife if he should ever screw up. But, honest!y I don't know how to take that right now as I didn't even know anyone else knew what was going on." I said still in shock that anyone else knew what was going on.

"What happened, how did your beautiful relationship get to this point, I mean, there must have been warning signs before reaching this situation, and don't worry, Will is extremely discrete so, only I know, well, and my girlfriend, soon to be fiancee. Be sure whatever you say here, not even my brother will know, moreso, he won't know I was here."

Anna's pov:
Jarrod told me I could honestly answer and no-one would know. Everything would be discrete as only him and his fiance knew anything was amis. He wanted to know how things got so bad between William and I.
"Honestly I'm not sure how things got this bad but lately all we've been doing is fighting. I'm thinking it may have all stemmed from the fact that your brother Is upset with current situations in our life and is trying to find Something he perceives will be better (I.e. another woman) rather than dealing with our relationships troubles." I said as I hesitated saying the next part for fear my emotions would soon betray me.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to continue speaking as my words began to crack "I've never told anyone this but about 6 months ago I has a miscarriage. I was only 3 mos pregnant so we hadn't even told anyone yet. Your 'brother thought I'd be better to just not say anything than disappoint everyone but instead he just started spiraling downward. Even looking to other women for intimacy rather than working through what happened." I finished as I could feel tears stinging the backs of my eyes.

I was in shock, I didn't know about the miscarriage, what didn't surprise me was Will's reaction, he always tried to evade, but I didn't think he would evade with other women.
Seeing Anna struggling with tears, I went in for the hug. "It's ok, Anna, let your pent up emotions, you will definitely feel better, don't feel embarrassed or ashamed, I won't judge you, on the contrary, I'm here especially for you".

Anna's pov:
I could barely contain my emotions when Jarrod went in for a hug. He then told me to let it out and to feel. That he won't judge me for anything.
As I hugged him back I whispered "Thanks" into his ear debating if I was ready to let go. I felt my walls slowly crumbling so I decided I had to make a decision quickly if I was going to finally let myself cry or if I was going to pull away.
