Mom?!
Does Andera have a child?
A myriad of emotions coursed through me at once. Shock, surprise, Unbelief. Andera had a daughter? Wait, that would mean she has a partner in her life.
No! Andera is single, or why else would she be using her father's surname? Right?
'You have a child?'
I type and send it to her. Despite it being almost six pm, with the cool Seattle air and air-conditioned office, heat was rising inside of me. I shrugged off my suit jacket and loosened my tie as I waited for Andera's reply. If she doesn't text me back, I swear to God, I will go to her home this instant and find out answers for myself.
Shit, I want her. I don't care if she's had a child during our time apart, it makes no difference to me. I would love her and love her child equally as well.
