I run my fingers through my hair as I silently remind myself to stay strong. “You did mean it. You aren't the kind of person to say things you don't mean. Maybe you wish you hadn't meant it, but you did. And that's okay. You're off the hook. I'll raise this baby on my own. You don't need to be involved.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” she asks.
Shaking my head, I go into her room and sit down in front of the massive binder and multiple wedding magazines. “No. I just want to enjoy planning this wedding with you and not think about any of it for a while.”
“Okay, babe.” She shuts and locks the door behind her then comes and joins me. “Whatever you need.”
