I looked at him, who had thinned, and averted my eyes quickly. "I didn't go and pick you up last night. Where did you spend the night?"

His hands shook a little. After a moment, he replied, "In the office."

It was hard to describe how I felt when I heard this. More disappointed than sad.

The man who had vowed to stay truthful to me had changed. I didn't lay bare his lie. It was pointless. "How far along is she?"

"Grace, I was wrong. Don't leave me." As far as I could recollect, Antonio had never cried before. Now, he sobbed.
