“In case your eyes aren’t working properly, you dullard, I am steadying this fine miss who almost fell on the floor. An unfortunate occurrence if it actually happened.” Maximus Vine answered.
“That’s my wife, just in case you missed the news, Mr. Vine” Cain thornily pointed out.
“Oh, I haven’t!” Maximus answered coolly, then added “I just hope you haven’t forgotten she is!”
“Seems like it is my younger sister who forgot who her husband is!” Shelly commented
“What do you mean by that, Shelly?” I asked her.
“What else would I mean?” She replied. “Just look at you. Spending the night in a fancy restaurant, when your husband is obviously not around.”
“I’ve been looking for Cain.” I told her.
“And why are you looking for me?” Cain asked.
“The family doctor took my pulse yesterday. He said it’s a boy.” I told him.
“What are you talking about?” Shelly’s voice began to shake.
“I’m three weeks pregnant with our child.” Was all I said.
I saw Shelly stiffen, then she turned to Cain, who at that moment was looking down as if he was caught having an illicit affair.
“Is she telling the truth?” She asked.
“Yes” was Cain’s brief reply.
“Go home with your wife!” Shelly icily told Cain.
