When I awoke, all I saw was white.
Beside me, Josie was nodding off with her face against a palm. There were dark bags under her eyes.
Josie opened her eyes when she heard me sitting up. Her eyes immediately filled with tears.
“Elise, you silly girl. Why didn’t you say that you were pregnant?”
Hearing the hitch in her voice, my eyes stung with tears as well.
“Josie, Lucas wouldn’t have let me keep the child.”
Josie’s expression turned somber.
“I know what he did. Don’t worry, Elise. No matter what you choose, I will support you.”
I knew that she was talking about the divorce.
Ever since the first time Lucas abandoned me for Shevonne, I had been thinking about divorce.
However, Josie loved me and hated Shevonne’s dastardly tricks. Thus, she refused to allow Lucas and me to divorce.
