Luvetta tried to run as fast as she could with her swollen belly. Ashley was having her baby! Luvetta had been by the girl's side since her boyfriend abandoned her. She gave her financial support whenever she could (whenever her husband let her) but mostly she had been there as a friend. She abandoned her post at her job the moment she heard and headed straight for the hospital.
She stopped half way to the door frozen in place.
Of course he would be there. Why hadn't she thought about that? He came out with a triumphant smile on his face, which fell the moment he saw her. The surprise on Mr. Gold's face than turned into a mixture of sorrow and pain that tore at Luvetta's heart. It shouldn't. She shouldn't care about him.
She should hate him.
He looked like he wanted to say something, but instead walked pass her. Luvetta sighed in relief. She thought she as imagining it, but she swore she saw the mayor smiling in the corner of her eye.
