The next day came, but sleep never did.
I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind racing.
Twins.
I was pregnant with Theo’s twins.
I turned onto my side, curling into myself. My body ached, but not as much as my mind. No matter how much I tried to push it away, the truth was there. Unchanging.
A sharp click broke the silence.
The door unlocked.
I sat up, my pulse spiking.
Hailey walked in, holding a tray of food and a fresh set of clothes. She didn’t speak. Didn’t look at me. Just set everything down on the dresser.
Then, without a word, she walked out, locking the door behind her.
I let out a slow breath, my hands gripping the sheets.
I didn’t care about her.
I used to miss Bell, but not anymore. She wasn’t my problem right now.
My problem was the life growing inside me.
