Chapter 18 I couldn't believe how fast everything was moving.

"What are you thinking about? Eat your food." Bryant ruffled my hair, pullingback to the moment. It was like there had never been any distance between us.

He had spent the whole day with me, a rarity. I went for a walk in the garden, and he followed I fed the ducks at the pond, and he was right there with me. I worked on my design sketches, and he sat beside me, dealing with emails and calls.

"Is the Marketing Department that slow today? I paused my work to tease her.

Christine was in a V-neck silk blouse and a beige mermaid skirt, her high heels clicking as she walked in, a vision of grace and allure.

"What, can't the boss' wife let her employees catch a break?" She smirked, placed two cups of decaf coffee on my desk, and chattered away. "Don't worry, I made sure it's decaf. I asked a doctor friend, and he said you should avoid caffeine during pregnancy. There are so many precautions. I'll text you the details later. Don't be careless.

My parents died because of a business failure, leading to debt collectors confrontingat school to pressure my dad into paying them back.

Whether it's love or wealth, it's all hers." If that accident hadn't happened, my mom would have been just as attentive about my pregnancy.

"Missing your folks?" Christine paused, then nodded, "I think their O memorial is coming up After a brief pause, she checked her phone. "It's close. Maybe you should bring Bryant along to visit your parents this year." "Yeah, that's the plan," I said.

Thinking back, in the three years we've been married, I've never taken Bryant to visit my parents' graves. Partly because he was always busy and partly because it never felt like the right time, I never mentioned it. X
