"I'm sorry" said Tess entering the office
"It's not your fault, she followed me" said Zoe
"No" said Tess "you didn't deserve any of that"
"I wonder if he is ok" said Zoe while trying to dry her eyes
"Nick?" said Tess
"Yea" said Zoe
"He will be ok" said Tess
Zoe suddenly stood up
"Any normal person would have told him the truth, but I guess I noticed he was happy when he thought I was having his baby" said zoe
"Are you ok" said Tess to Zoe
"I don't know" said Zoe trying to dry her tears
"What about you" said Zoe?
"Not so good" said Tess trying to smile
"Well" said Tess "except from people knowing I am having an affair with a man 15 years younger than me and I was carrying his child until recently"
"Take the rest of the day off" said Zoe
"No" said Tess "I have to face them sometime"
"I suppose I have too as well" said Zoe
As Zoe said this she got up and headed towards the door
"No you're not going anywhere" said Tess
Tess turned Zoe round to a mirror
"Look at us" said Tess
There was mascara dripping down both their faces, Zoe smiled.
"Let's get cleaned up first" said Zoe
