To say that she was nervous about this meeting was the understatement of the century times a million. Sook knew how badly this could go and she hesitated to even attempt it with them both there together, but she couldn't go on living a lie with her heart split into two. It was killing her and Adele and the baby would suffer in the long run too. She had to trust that neither would physically hurt the other or threaten to. She really could not use that stress when she was almost six months pregnant. If there was no conclusion, then she could walk away and move on with her romantic life, safe in the knowledge that she would be all the better for getting it all out in the open.
She had brought photographs of the baby's scan for Nigel too, just in case he needed calming down. He was too hotheaded and Hannibal too cunning. Why did she always fall for the men who would ultimately break her? Sook sat huddled in a booth, absentmindedly stroking her more obviously swollen stomach and staring at the cup of decaff tea in front of her. She really missed caffeine.
