Love's Last Thread
Julian Carter orders me to clean up his childhood sweetheart's new home when I'm still recovering from childbirth.
"Everyone knows you're good at home economics! Things will be much easier for us with your help."
I'm wrapping things up when I feel something dampen my pants. The discharge trickles down my leg and onto the floor.
Nadine Stephens covers her mouth and cries dramatically, "What's that? It's so disgusting!"
She even bends over and pretends to gag.
Awkwardness and shame wash over me, making me want to dig a hole and hide myself. However, Julian grabs me and scowls. "I told you to come here to help. You're causing trouble on purpose, aren't you?"
It's Valentine's Day, but he chases me out and tells me to go home. I wait for him for the whole night with our child in my arms.
He only returns the following day with love bites on his neck.
That's when I know we won't have a future together.
