Chapter 58: Keeping Secrets

Moana

Edrick’s eyes flashed with recognition as I refused a drink. I knew, then, that he was onto me. Edrick quickly disappeared into the crowd again, leaving me alone with Verona once more, but that interaction alone was enough to cause me such stress that I suddenly felt as though I was going to throw up.

“Excuse me,” I said, pushing my chair back and standing. “I’ll be back in a moment.”

Before Verona had the chance to respond, I quickly turned on my heel and beelined for the bathroom, holding my hand over my mouth to keep myself from vomiting. Thankfully, the bathroom was empty when I entered, and I barely made it to the toilet before the contents of my stomach poured out.

When I was finished throwing up, I flushed the toilet and stood shakily, leaning on the side of the bathroom stall for a moment to steady myself before walking over to the sink. I took a few deep breaths and calmed my nerves before digging into my purse for a mint, then left to get myself some ginger ale to calm my stomach.

As I made my way to the bar, I felt weak and shaky, but not entirely from the nausea. Not only did I feel completely out of place at this party as the only human, but I also felt that Edrick would potentially discover my pregnancy tonight… And I wasn’t ready.

I leaned on the bar and asked the bartender for a ginger ale, trying my best to steady my nerves. Just then, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see Kelly standing beside me. She looked drunk, but also contemptuously devious.

“Just a ginger ale?” she asked.

I nodded.

A smirk spread across her face. She glanced over her shoulder toward where Edrick was standing, then back at me, and looked me up and down.

“You know,” she said, leaning closer to me, “from girl to girl… That dress isn’t fooling anybody.”

I frowned, taking a step back, and looked down at myself. I thought I looked perfectly fine. “What are you talking about?” I asked.
