Her chest rose and fell once she was done And I said nothing

“Josh You need to say soe, and now I’nant Please”

At that ht words to say But I didn’t I had no idea how I felt, other than one particular urge that I couldn’t ignore—I had to get away

So, that’s what I did Without saying a word, I turned and left

“Josh!” her voice followedas soon as the door to the patio was shut

I kept on, putting as much distance between myself and her as possible I kneas theI could’ve done, but it’s what I did And I only stopped when I heard the voice of Sah the silence of the house

“Bro Congratulations”

“Huh?”

He grinned “Come with me”

Congratulations This was bad Not knohat else to do, I followed Sae where he shut the door and locked it “Sit down We have a lot to talk about”

I was busted Fucking busted I’d been wondering when this was all going to co down, and this was it Still in a daze from Cass’s news, I dropped into one of the chairs and stared off into space

“You with me?” Sam sat down across from me “I need to know you’re with me This is an important conversation we’re about to have”

I took a deep breath and came into the moment “I’m with you”

Sa to happen Finally, he spoke

“You know I’ve suspected so on with you and Cass I smelled bullshit, and it looks like my sense of s I’ve done But it turns out I just needed to be by the right openin the right rooht time”

“What did you hear?”

“Everything Cass is pregnant and the engagement is a lie What else is there to know? I suppose I could ask what your motivations are, but that’s obvious The real question is e’re going to do now” He leaned forward in his seat “Let me ask you this—what do you think we should do now?”

“Sa to be a father This is hardly the time for bullshit”
