HER BULLY'S REGRET
And we may not have talked about it, but Nathan is exactly the guy I want to raise this baby with.
I blow out a shaky breath and realize I’m smiling. Everything with me and Nathan is messy. But it’s a kind of messy that feels right.
The bathroom door swings open, and Nathan’s assistant Lucia walks in.
She immediately spots the pregnancy test, and her eyebrows shoot up.
We both freeze.
“Don’t tell anyone,” I blurt.
“Of course not,” Lucia says. And then, after a beat, she asks, “Do you need help, or congratulations?”
My heart swells. This woman barely knows me. But she’s offering her signature calm, efficient support, whatever I want to do with this pregnancy.
