I click the email first, my stomach lurching uncomfortably when I see the sender.

Hey Princess,
You looked divine at The Met. I watched you all night. Your smile lit up the entire galaxy, but I knew it was meant only for me.
Soon, we can begin our lives together.
Everything isalmostin place.
With love,
Forever your Prince Charming
My heart races as I quickly forward the email to Ford, receiving an immediate text.
FORD
Already on it. And I might have a lead. Stay safe, Wren.
I send him back a quick thumbs up, exiting our thread to check the other texts that came in whilst I was sleeping.
The first text is from Elodie.
ELODIE
Got caught at work. Will bring home pizza.
My stomach rumbles at the thought, and I shoot her back a quick reply.
ME
I’ll take peppers, pineapple, sweetcorn, and pepperoni. Extra cheese, too!
I’m practically licking my lips when I open the next text, frowning heavily when I do.
MATT
I heard you’ve left him. I’m here if you need me, Neve.
My frown deepens, anger flowing through me when I realize the only person who knows anything about my current situation is Elodie.
Fucking Elodie!
I shake my head, trying to dispel the mood threatening to overtake me, and toss my cell into my bag, ignoring Matt entirely.
The thought of Elodie’s pizza sours at the thought of the conversation I need to have with her. So I make short work of grabbing a bowl of cereal from her well-stocked kitchen before making my way to the guest bedroom to call it a night.
As I move into the hall, I feel a familiar twinge in my lower abdomen and curse the world for sending me my period when I’m at my lowest.
I duck into Elodie’s room and through to her ensuite, intent on grabbing some sanitary products just in case.
My jaw hits the floor when I open her bathroom cabinet to find it stocked to bursting with boxes of condoms and a handful of pregnancy tests.
Head shaking in a mixture of disbelief and confusion, I wonder what kind of fuck buddy she’s involved with, when my body freezes, my mind going completely blank.
