Pregnant With My Twin Sister’s Fiancé’s Baby
One cheap dye test, one expensive ergonomic one, and the digital one that spelled it out in words because I didn't trust my brain to interpret lines correctly today.
To make the basket look less like a panic attack, I threw in a box of tampons (wishful thinking), a family-sized bar of dark chocolate (comfort), and a gossip magazine with a blurred celebrity couple on the cover.
I walked to the counter, keeping my head down.
The cashier was an elderly woman with silver curls and kind eyes behind thick glasses. She scanned the chocolate first, then the magazine. Then her hand paused on the first box of tests.
She didn't say anything. She just scanned them, one by one. Beep. Beep. Beep.
