I huff out a breath. “Amazing.”

My phone buzzes. I don’t want to look.

I know I should. I know exactly who it’s going to be.

Still, my hand shakes a little when I pick it up.

Nate. Of course.

I stare at the screen for a second before opening the message.

Nate: What the hell did I just see?!!

My chest tightens.

There’s another one.

Nate: Call me

Another.

Nate: Maggie

I close my eyes.

Simone’s voice comes from behind me. “Is it Nate?”

I nod.

“Do you want me to answer?” she asks.

I let out a weak laugh. “What are you going to say? ‘Hi, your sister is pregnant but don’t worry, it’s complicated’?”

“Fair point.”

I look back down at my phone.

More messages.

Nate: Why didn’t you tell me

Nate: Is this real???

Nate: Maggie answer me

My throat tightens.

“I can’t do this,” I whisper.

Simone steps closer. “You don’t have to answer right now.”

“He saw it.”

“I know.”

“He found out like that.”
