Austin came over to the ranch on the evening of the day when she went to his house to look for him and didn't find him there. He looked dejected and looked much older than his age, but not in a good way. Christina placed a glass of alcohol in his hand and raised an eyebrow when he gave her a quizzic
Angie. “She sent you this lengthy text after she left?” Austin asked at last after he had read through the entire thing. He looked relieved, which was for the best, at least for the time being. “Yes, she did.” “Okay. That’s a relief. She probably needs some time to herself for now. She's seventee
"You should take off your shirt so that you can be a little more comfortable,” Christina told Austin, who glanced at her, smiled drunkenly, and nodded, agreeing with her. “You’re right. It’s kind of hot in here.” He said, shrugging out of his shirt so that he was now in his singlet and trousers. Ch
She kissed him passionately and ran her hands feverishly over his body, as she waited for the main action impatiently, but he seemed to want to take his time, and impatient though she was, she let him take the lead. After a few minutes though, she felt his body slacken, and by the time she raised he
As soon as the words left her mouth, Austin’s spoon fell back into his plate of food with a loud plop and he stared at her in dismay, mouth agape. After that first day when they had had sex throughout the whole day without protection, he had insisted that unless they got protection, they weren’t goi
“There are no buts about it. Don’t make me regret telling you about it. All I want is to get rid of the pregnancy, so I can go back to the normal me.” “Alright. I’ll ask around.” Austin agreed, albeit reluctantly. The days passed, but nothing happened on Austin's end. Christina kept pestering hi
Once she was in front of the door, she rapped loudly twice, her heart pounding in her chest as she stood there. Two suspicious-looking guys, who were smoking pot passed by her slowly, looking her over very curiously as they passed. It was clear that they knew that she did not belong there. One of t
“No, no. I’m not letting anyone but a standard hospital put any instrument up my vagina. I’ll take the drugs if you have them, and be on my way. I don’t mind the cost.” “I’ll still have to advise you against it. If you choose to have the procedure, you’ll just need to rest a little after, and then
“You’re here again.” She states, rolling her eyes without so much as a good morning when she opens the door and sees me standing there. “Good morning to you too. Yes, I’m indeed here again. How are you doing?” I ask her, resolving not to let her hostility get to me. She has every reason to be hosti
I have not been to Nora's apartment for several months since Sally disappeared. In the first month of Sally's disappearance, I used to come here a lot, so much so that I’m sure that I must have begun to look like a desperate creep to Nora. Each time I came here back then, I would plead and plead wi
“No! I want to go with you and Aunt Sally!” He protests angrily when he sees the nanny and realizes that I’m about to leave him with her. “Honey, you must be very tired from running up and down with me these past few days. That is why I want your nanny to take you home so you can rest. Besides, you
SEAN Somehow, Sally allows herself to be convinced to come back home with me, which as even her doctor agrees, is the best decision for her right now because she needs all the help that she can get. We’ve finally been able to reach Nora and Austin, who have arrived at their honeymoon destination a
SALLY I can tell that Sean is surprised at my blunt tone and sharp words, but I couldn’t care less. I vaguely remember how I had pleaded with my boss to get in touch with him after she told me that she could not reach Nora and Austin no matter how many times she tried to reach them. I had been ter
The small bundle feels incredibly light as the nurse places it in my arms. Every single iota of sleep flees from my eyes as I hold and look down at my daughter. The nurse helps me adjust the baby in my arms while smiling at me in approval. Immense love for this tiny human floods my entire being and
I smile unsurely at the doctor, certain that I must have misheard what she just said. She doesn't smile back but instead continues to stare back at me with a measured look that says that she's not messing around. “I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you're talking about. What do you mean by expectant f
SEAN I have to admit that I am not thinking straight, but I'll blame that on the lack of sleep and the thought of seeing sadly again after all these months. Sally is lying on a bed in a very tiny room and she's being placed on oxygen. She looks so small and defenseless in the hospital bed. I appr
“There has been an emergency involving Sally and she's requesting for you.” A female voice had said over the phone mere seconds ago. “Is she OK? What's wrong with her? Where is she?” I ask in quick succession without waiting for an answer to each question. Taking deep breaths, I remind myself to be
