Don't Say You Love Me
"Holly, I'm sorry. I have a really important meeting today. I won't be able to go with you to the hospital. You're always so understanding. I know you'll support your husband while he's hard at work, right?
"Besides, you said it yourself yesterday. You've been through childbirth before. You don't need me there. Everything will go smoothly."
I kept my head down and didn't say a word.
Elliot smiled and pressed a kiss to my forehead. "Be good, alright? I'll bring you back a gift."
With that, he walked away without looking back.
Watching his retreating figure, I finally gave up for good.
I checked the latest flights to Norbury and called my best friend, Roxanne Bilbury.
