Chapter 216

• Poker night with Caine and his friends
• As you may have imagined, I became pregnant as a result of those events. Since it was assumed to be my husband Derrick’s child, we never even discussed the idea of a paternity test. So who really knows who the child’s father is. I don’t care to find out because Derrick loves him and he is a great provider.
• Soon after realizing I was pregnant, I quickly faded out of my usual social routines. I didn’t speak to Caine again for about a year after the incident at the hostel. I was in shock, I think, and it caused me to push Caine out of my life. It really hurt his feelings and he wouldn’t talk to me for a long time after that, but I didn’t give up. I could never stop thinking about what had happened between us and I knew that we weren’t done yet.
