Overwhelmed, Raphael sat on the edge of a flower bed, silent for a long while.

Eventually, he mustered some energy, took a cigarette from his coat pocket, and began smoking it slowly.

His mind was cluttered with thoughts, primarily that Olivia was pregnant.

The thought of how quickly Olivia had moved on to be with Dylan and was now carrying his child felt like a betrayal.

He couldn’t help but ridicule himself.
