Dorothy's mind raced back to the look in Everett's eyes that day.

His gaze, red and raw, bore into her as he asked whether she had ever considered him, even just a little.

At the time, Dorothy thought he was pleading for her to forgive his mother for his sake, to spare him from being stuck in the middle. But now, it struck her that he was actually questioning the trust she had never given him.

Back then, she had thought that if she got pregnant, she'd keep the baby, given how much he loved kids. But she hadn't anticipated the breakup happening so suddenly.

Karen counted the days; her period was indeed a day late, though it wasn't unusual for her cycle to be irregular. Still, it was best to get checked at the hospital, just to be safe.

On the way, her mind churned with possibilities.
