Vera's POV
I stormed back to my room still angry about Caleb's speculation. How would he think I'm having an affair with Drew? I was a one-man type of girl and on no account would I seek s*x outside, I can't say the same for Phil.
The thought of him brought back the ache in my chest. He was expected to be back soon and I'll be at the receiving end of his frustrations.
I paced my room, finally making a stop in front of my full view mirror. I stood, staring at my reflection, my left hand rubbing my stomach in a circle. Why couldn't I get pregnant? I turned to my side, no protruding. My belly was incredibly flat.
We haven't been trying for that long, but with what Drew told me about the council, I could understand Phil's desperation.
I sighed, rubbing my face, and took a seat on my bed.
