"I can't do this right now."
My voice comes out thin and barely steady.
I grip the edge of the counter tightly because suddenly I feel dizzy all over again.
Thomas wisely says absolutely nothing behind us. Actually, I don't even look at him, I physically cannot deal with another human being seeing my face right now.
I stare hard at the sink instead while panic claws violently through my chest.
I'm pregnant With Zane's baby.
Holy shit.
"El," Ivy says quietly again.
I finally look at her and immediately see the worry written all over her face. That almost breaks me.
I force out a shaky breath quickly before I completely lose it in the middle of a supermarket bathroom.
"I'm okay."
The lie sounds terrible and Ivy clearly knows it too.
"You do not look okay."
"I just…" I swallow hard. "I need to think."
She hesitates.
"You want me to come home with you?"
Immediately panic flashes through me.
"No."
Too fast.
I soften slightly.
"I mean… no. Not yet."
