I waited for Shane smiling. I was going to propose to him. He arrived and we ate the celebratory meal discussing what assets he had lost, mainly money. Once we were in the car I'd plucked up enough courage to ask him.
"Shane, I know this is unorthodox and outta nowhere but, will you marry me?" I speeded up as I approached the end. My eyes were downcast and I looked up to hear his response. He placed his head on the steering wheel and sighed. "Shane?"
"Kara, no." I bit my lip and felt my heart wrench apart. "Shit, where did that come from? I'm just divorced and I don't want to get tied down just yet. Maybe in 3 years I'll feel differently. I love you, but I can't commit."
"Sorry, stupid question." I smiled though inside I was broken. We drove home in silence. I told him I was going to call Sev. I went into the office and closed the door. I dialled Drew again, it rang and rang and rang and....
"Hello?" he finally answered.
"Drew, can you meet me at the docs on Main Street?"
"Greenwich? Sure." I thanked God that he could visit the doctors with me. "Kara, what happened? Why isn't Shane going with you?"
"He said no, he doesn't know about the baby."
"Kara, this is getting risky."
"Just meet me in twenty minutes." I hung up so as not to hear his protests.
