“Did you save it?” Will’s voice was low. He sounded guilty, like the other times he’d called to let me know he would be home late.
My gut said the other woman would be meeting them for a drink too.
Shit.
“No. It’s ruined. I’ll munch on the veggies later. Should I wait up for you?”
“Probably not. Don’t you have that breakfast meeting at eight?”
“You remember that?”
“I remember everything you tell me.”
A tear rolled down my cheek, catching me by surprise. Then another followed. What the hell? “But I don’t usually go to bed before midnight anyway. How late do you plan to be out?” Tension overwhelmed my body, hardening my voice.
“I don’t know. Late. Just don’t wait up for me, all right?”
“Fine! Enjoy your evening! Goodbye, Will.”
“Fuck! Miranda? Miranda?” he yelled into the phone, panic in his voice.
“What?” I could hear his labored breathing. It pissed me off. If he felt awful or guilty about going out, then why in the hell was he? “What, Will? Seems there’s nothing more to say.”
“Make sure to soak the wok overnight.”
“Soak the wok?” A cynical laugh ripped from my lungs. “Soak the wok. That’s what you wanted to say to me? Wow. Don’t worry, Will, I’ll wash the fucking wok right this second!”
I slammed the phone on the counter. My tears dried up, and a fire ignited in my chest. If the other woman was back in Will’s life, what was I to do?
How could he do this to me? To us?
What about the baby?
