#Chapter 71: End of the Line

The gap that existed between Edrick and I could never be bridged; I knew that now.

Our ride home was silent. The steak that I could still taste on my tongue now tasted foul. To think that I had spent the entire day feeling as though we could have some semblance of normalcy; even if we never became romantically involved, why couldn’t we still be proud of what we had created between us? Why did he always have to hide me and Ella? Would the new baby also face the same struggle of having a father who didn’t want anyone to know about his or her existence?

“Come in,” I called, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. The door cracked open and Selina poked her head in.

Your first appointment is in a couple of hours,” she said. “I’ve already made breakfast for you. Come and eat before you get dressed.”

I sighed, having completely forgotten about my appointment that day, and climbed out of bed. As I followed Selina to the dining room in my robe, I noticed that Edrick was nowhere to be found.

“Is Edrick coming to the appointment?” I asked as I sat down at the table and began to spread butter on my toast.

Selina shook her head while she poured some hot coffee into my cup. “He has something to deal with at work, but he may come later.”
