Davina's POV
Dark Past
For two days straight, I shut everyone out. I barricaded myself in my bedroom with the curtains pulled tight, pushing away any food brought to me. Whenever someone tapped on my door, I faked being asleep.
The outside world ceased to matter right now. Crying was all I could manage.
The tears felt endless. My chest burned with an ache so intense it was like someone had placed a weight directly on my heart. I sobbed until no more tears would come.
I replayed everything over and over in my mind.
I pictured him, wondering how he might have responded if circumstances were different, if we were still an item.
Would he have urged me to go through with it or terminate it?
Would he have freaked out or been thrilled?
I suppose I'll never find out...
It's fine. Irvin belongs where he is now, beside Caroline, and here I am where I shouldn't be...
Expecting...
A future I never planned, never wanted, but now faced the most enormous choice of my existence about.
