The pity in the nurse’s eyes told me everything I needed to know. Shane never came. He was probably still busy making sure Clara was okay.

I took a taxi home. Once I got there, I placed my signed resignation letter and my pregnancy test report on the desk. Then, I picked up my bags and headed straight for the airport.

Right before I boarded the plane, my phone screen lit up.

Shane's message appeared on the screen. [Samantha, I’m coming home soon. Let’s talk, okay?]

Then, another message from Martha Wallis, his secretary, appeared on the screen. [Samantha why did you resign? Do you know how frantic the boss is right now? Where are you?]

I didn’t reply to any of the messages. Instead, I turned off my phone and walked through the boarding gate.
