Half begging, half warning. “Think about this baby. Think about your parents.”
Tears rolled down into my palm.
That time, I gave in. After everything that happened, my heart was deeply hurt and all my strength was gone.
Each day, I wandered like a walking corpse, spending my time in that flower-filled house, lost in thought.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Hallie came home to keep me company, taking her unborn child with me to early education classes.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays were different; those were the days she spent with Harrison, enjoying their sweet and passionate romance.
Even with her stomach issues, she still followed Harrison to every trendy and new restaurant.
Milk tea, coffee, barbecue and ice cream.
Whatever Harrison liked, Hallie accepted without a second thought.
This same woman once thought wasting even ten minutes of her life was shameful.
Yet with Harrison, she was willing to sit through one boring romance movie after another.
This woman, who always put her career first, was still willing to do every silly and childish thing with Harrison.
To protect him, she even let him be listed as a co-author on a paper outside his field.
