“I know you said we can mend, but I feel like everything tonight is so superficial, like we haven’t really moved on. Everyone is accepting us being together again but I feel like I owe them something. Don’t you think that an apology or maybe an explanation is in order?”
Silence.
I sighed, relaxing after getting all of that out, and added, “you are all that’s important to me, and I want them to know that too.”
“Camille, I know. These past few weeks, I have been running all of that over and over in my head, trying to figure out how I can make things right. I don’t want us to go backwards. I know we have things to work out, but don’t worry about our families. I’ll do my best to fix us.”
“Jacob, you don’t need to fix anything. I should have told you about the baby. And we can fix us together. In the meantime, everyone here is kind of freaking me out with all their niceness.”
He kissed my fingers. “All their niceness, that’s funny. We are going to move forward, and I don’t think we should wait.” He pulled me back into the living room.
A roomful of hopeful faces turned toward us. “Okay, family. Things aren’t going as planned so we’re going to need to make some small changes.”
I was confused. “What’s not going as planned?”
He turned back to me. “Do you trust me?”
Something was happening and I knew he needed an answer. Did I trust him? I went all in. “Yes.”
