His stare locked with mine.
“How nice of him to come here with you. I don’t get to see a lot of that.” She paused, looking at my chart one last time before she added, “Well then, my nurse caught me up on everything, and I have your blood results for your pregnancy test in my hand.”
I nodded, feeling as if I would pass the hell out.
“Would you like me to confirm your results?”

“What?” I exclaimed, caught off guard. “The pregnancy test I took said I was.”
“Sometimes false positives can happen, but blood doesn’t lie. You’re not pregnant, Elizabeth.”

“I see in your chart that you’re on the pill, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, great. I don’t think I need to tell you how important it is to make sure you’re taking it on time and not skipping days? Especially if you’re sexually active.”
“Yes, of course. I am.”

“Yes, Dr. Taylor. Thank you for the advice.”
“No problem. Are there any other questions you have for me?”
“No, I’m good, thank you.”
“It was nice meeting you, Elizabeth.” She glanced back and forth between us. “You two take care.”
I wish I could tell you that this instantly fixed everything between us, but I’d be lying. Neither one of us spoke on the drive back to my house. After Ethan stopped his truck at the end of my driveway, I knew he wasn’t coming inside, and I didn’t know why I expected him to.
Especially with everything we just went through.
Stating the obvious, I uttered, “I leave next week.”
He nodded, staring out in front of him.
“Are we okay?”
He eyed me. “Of course.”
