Adele hadn't bothered to make an effort dressing-up ever since Riley had left. There was simply no point anymore. Riley had made her life worthwhile. There was always something to look forward to when Riley was around, but Adele found herself wanting nothing now she was gone. It was a struggle to look at Lowan now, he looked so much like Riley.
Adele carried Lowan through Tākarokaro Park with a deeply sad frown on her face, and fakely smiling every time she looked at Lowan, or Lowan looked at her. She knew Lowan would figure out that something was up soon, he wasn't dumb, just young. But Adele wasn't ready to tell him just yet, not until she could speak Riley's name without crying. Finding a nearby bench, Adele sat down and placed Lowan on her lap, doing her best to keep smiling for his sake. Adele wasn't going to take out her sadness on Lowan. After all, he had done nothing wrong, and he wasn't to be blamed for what had happened. Only Adele could be blamed. She had slept with Hadan, she had kept Riley in the dark until her emotions forced out the truth.
Adele hoped that no-one would notice the red marks under her eyes from where she had been crying. She sniffed in the last few tears as she played with Lowan, Looking into Lowan's eyes, Adele was reminded of Riley again. She had done her best to blank him from her mind until now, but Lowan was just like his Daddy, which had been a good thing until now. Adele placed Lowan safely next to her on the bench, then put her head in her hands as the tears began again. She didn't want to reject Lowan, but she couldn't bring herself to face him right now. Even the slightest thing could remind Adele of Riley right now, even the socks that Lowan was wearing had been bought by him. And Adele just couldn't deal with those memories just yet.
