“What?”
“I haven’t had my period, and well, I kind of had unprotected sex with this man I know.”
“Oh, yeah?” I smirked. “Anyone I know?”
“I don’t know if you know him.”
I growled, grabbed her hand, and pulled her toward me. “Don’t tease me, Callie.”
“What are you going to do about it?” she said, looking up at me under furtive eyes.
“Are you teasing me?”
“Perhaps,” she said with a soft smile.
“So, if you’re pregnant, what does that mean?” I asked, hope running through me. I knew it was awful, but if she were pregnant and had the baby, she might agree to marry me. Maybe then I could get her to fall in love with me. Maybe then things could work out, maybe.
“I’m most probably not pregnant,” she said, shaking her head. “It could just be the shock. I looked online and—”
“Have you gone to a gynecologist? Have you taken a test?”
“No.” She licked her lips nervously. “I haven’t wanted to know just yet.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because if I found out I was, it would mean we’d have to have a conversation, and I wasn’t ready to speak to you just yet.”
“But you’re ready to speak to me now?”
“Maybe,” she said. “I still don’t think we’re good for each other, Antonio.”
“I know you don’t, but I think we were made for each other, Callie.”
“You think so?” she asked, her eyes lightening slightly as she gazed at me, and I nodded.
“I think that God created me and took out my rib and created you.” She burst out laughing.
“What are you trying to say, that we’re Adam and Eve?”
“No,” I said and chuckled. “I’m just saying that if God was a sculptor, he sculpted us out of the same piece of clay.”
“Yeah, maybe,” she said, and my heart pounded.
“Maybe?” I looked to her. “Does that mean you’re coming around?”
“It just means that maybe I have feelings for you as well, Antonio. Maybe that’s why I was a fool going back to you all the time.”
“Well, we could be two fools in love,” I said.
“We could be, or I could be a smart person and walk away and—”
“I don’t want you to walk away, Callie. I nearly lost you once. I couldn’t deal with not having you in my life.”
“I don’t know that I could deal with not having you in my life, either,” she said. “But we’re still connected and always will be.”
“Oh, the baby?” I said, raising an eyebrow.
“We don’t know if there’s a baby yet,” she said. “No. I mean Elisabetta.”
