I didn't want to cause a stir when I was so close to leaving. My fist tightened around the straps of the bag containing what little I could pack without suspicion and apologized to her.
Not satisfied, Nathan decided to end the day, but Katherine insisted she had to get the new line of clothes.
I watched his expression soften at her pout and wondered how I had been so blind to how devoted he was to her.
He gave in easily, but as punishment, I was only allowed to watch, not participate.
I agreed, knowing why I was really there, and remained quiet as I followed behind Katherine and Nathan.
I wore his ring on my finger, but staring at them as they joked and playfully browsed through clothes for her, they looked like a perfect pair.
It left a sour taste in my mouth, and I placed my hand on my belly to remind myself of who really mattered.
Finally, it was time for her to try on the clothes she had picked. I offered to follow her into the changing room, hoping to find a window I could climb out of.
Nathan tried to refuse, but Katherine insisted she needed my help. She dumped her heap of clothes into my arms and commanded me to follow.
