Flowers for My Grave
Now that I was pregnant, I believed he would treat me with more care.
A smile broke across my face at the thought, and I imagined Lucas's expression upon seeing the prenatal slip.
I changed into fresh clothes and settled onto the sofa to wait for his return, my heart racing with anticipation.
In my boredom, I leaned over the balcony to tend to a flowerpot and remembered the bouquet in the bedroom.
I hurried to retrieve it, eager to present it to Lucas as soon as he walked in.
However, I lost my grip, and in an instant, the flowers tumbled off the coffee table, scattering across the floor in a disarray of petals.
