Her heart filled with a wave of bitterness as she gently touched her belly and murmured in sorrow, “Sweetie, your dad is really upset with me. Do you think I’ll actually be kicked out?”

Her baby, still too undeveloped to understand, offered no reply.

Elyse remained seated for a few moments to ease her tiredness before she slowly made her way downstairs.
