“What is it?” Elliot asked.
“Five years ago, we… we had a baby together.”
Elliot had one hand in his pocket as he stood in front of the French windows in the study, and when he heard what Hayley said over the phone, his eyes widened. “What are you talking about?”
“Our baby didn’t manage to survive, but I was looking through my stuff and I found the sonogram from all those years ago. Our baby.” Hayley let out a heartbreaking sob. “I lost the baby at three months… I’m so sorry for not being able to keep him.”
He was shell-shocked. He never thought that he had hurt Hayley more than she let on five years ago, and he didn’t ever expect her to have gone through a miscarraige.
