In My Desperate Time

Whitney doesn’t need to hide her belly, but I am still carrying a secret.

A few days later, Steven tells me that it has been arranged for me to leave Virginia.

I can leave whenever I want to.

A long delay may cause trouble, so I book a ticket to leave on Thursday morning.

When Steven hands the ticket to me, he asks, “Are you sure about this?”

I suddenly pause.

My heart is painful when I think of Frances.

I’ve made the decision, and I’m prepared. However, I am still concerned about him.

Will I miss him after I leave? Will he remember me? Will he reconcile with Whitney, or will he hook up with other women?

I don’t want to talk about distressing things, so I force a smile and ask Steven, “You said you will look into my parents’ accident. How’s it?”
