Hugh carried Noelle in his arms as we headed inside together.

I fiddled with my fingers as I watched Noelle attempt to braid a thick, short lock of his hair into a single braid. Her ice-cream-covered fingers stained his shirt, but Hugh didn’t seem to mind. Around her, he seemed all warmth and sunshine, and something in my chest softened at the sight.

For a brief moment, I just stood there, watching them with a quiet smile.

Then an uneasy feeling washed over me. My e

    Lena walked toward us with venom in her eyes.“What the hell was that stunt you pulled out there?”She grabbed Lane’s shirt furiously, wrinkling the fabric as her fingers tightened around it.I scoffed and stepped back, giving them space. The last thing I needed was another confrontation, especially after everything that had happened that evening.“What is wrong with you?” Lane yelled, his face turning red as the veins on his temple popped.He tore her hands away from his shirt and shoved her back. Hard.She crashed into the wall, her eyes widening in horror.For a moment, neither of them said anything. The silence felt heavy.“You're doing all of this because of her?” Lena demanded furiously, pointing a perfectly manicured finger at me.“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't involve me in your lovers' quarrel. I'll leave you both to it.”I smiled and made to walk away. Before I could get far, Lena lunged at me.I crashed into the wall, and a sharp sting spread across my back from the impact. It on

    I stared up at Hugh, whose arms were still wrapped around me, and for a few seconds, my senses seemed to stop working.I just remained there, caught in his arms and lost in his eyes. The noise around us faded into the background, and I focused on him.Then it came back to me.I was supposed to be acting as someone else's wife right now.I hated how easily he could make me forget where I was, even if only for a moment.I immediately straightened myself and stepped away from him.“Thank you,” I muttered, dusting off imaginary dirt from my dress.Even after I'd stepped away, I could still feel the warmth of his arms around me. I shook my head a little to push the thoughts away. All thoughts of the refreshments were gone.Tonight was already complicated enough without adding my confusing feelings into the mix.I needed to remember why I was here.And, more importantly, who I was supposed to be standing bes

    I got fitted into the dress, and the moment I looked at myself in the mirror, I knew I loved it.It clung to my body like a second skin.I turned slightly, studying my reflection and noticing the faint bulge of my stomach. It didn’t seem obvious yet, but it was there. Or so I’d convinced myself.I went outside to Lane, who was waiting.His eyes immediately began scanning me from head to toe. As his gaze dropped lower, I instinctively held my breath, hoping he wouldn’t notice anything different. Thankfully, he didn’t seem to notice anything.He couldn’t take his eyes off me. I stood there awkwardly, trying to ignore how uncomfortable his stare made me feel. ‘Was he doing this deliberately to annoy me?’ I clenched my fingers together.‘Stay calm, Zoe’.He finally turned towards the attendant.“No. Another.”I stared at him in disbelief. There was absolutely

Around her, he seemed all warmth and sunshine, and something in my chest softened at the sight.For a brief moment, I just stood there, watching them with a quiet smile.Then an uneasy feeling washed over me. My eyes moved around the room, taking everything in. Nothing seemed out of place, yet I couldn’t shake the feeling.I could feel someone’s gaze on me, so I glanced over my shoulder.Nothing.I was probably imagining it. I shrugged it off.Noelle eventually wriggled out of Hugh’s arms and grabbed his hand, dragging him behind her with her tiny fingers.“Come!” she said excitedly. “Come and play with me!”Hugh laughed

    I walked into my office with a small, silly smile. As I closed the door, I cleared my throat and forced myself to compose my expression. I sat down at my desk and faced my computer, determined to focus on work.Instead, my hand wandered towards the mirror in my drawer. I pulled it out and stared at my reflection.My hair was slightly out of place, and my eyes looked tired, as though I hadn’t slept enough. I couldn't tell if my lips were dry or if I hadn't applied enough lipstick.I swallowed hard. Had I really looked like this all morning in Hugh's presence? Heat crept up my cheeks.I quickly started fixing my hair, smoothing down the loose strands, when a knock on the door made me jump.I nearly dropped the mirror.I scrambled to put it away, shoved it back into the drawer, and straightened in my chair just as another knock sounded.The morning sun streamed through my office window, casting long golden rectangles across the polished floor. I should have been reviewing patient files,

    “Zoe? Are you okay? Are you feeling well? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”Lane walked towards me and reached out to touch my forehead. I slapped his hand away, rinsed my face again, before brushing past him. I was already irritated by his presence and didn’t need his concern.“I need you to leave now. I need some rest.” I nodded towards the door.Lane's face fell. He ran a hand through his hair, looking defeated.My eyes landed on the pregnancy test still sitting on the shelf. My heart jumped. I quickly shoved it behind a carton before Lane could notice.“I have an event tomorrow, and I need you to accompany me,” he blurted out.I stared at him.“Go meet Lena. And get your bitch ass out of my house,” I snapped.Lane looked genuinely taken aback by my outburst.“Please, Zoe. It has to be you. Everyone knows you as my wife. I need to keep appearing with you…”“Look, I have work tomorrow. Don't expect me to abandon my job to attend one of your events.”“I'll wait for you to
