"Are you jealous?"
"No, Brady. I was actually grateful when my parents told me about her. I was hoping that you being with someone else meant that you had moved on and that you and I could be friends."
I did not say anything.
Evelyn sat down again.
"Clearly I was wrong. You are not ready to be friends. Fine. Let me just jump right into what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Okay, and what is that?" I asked, forcing the coldness back into my voice.
"Two things. One, I wanted you to hear it from me and not Sammy. I am pregnant."
Her words felt like they shoved a dagger into my heart.
"Wow. Congratulations."
"Thank you. Andrew and I are really happy. We are having a baby boy, due in early summer. We plan to tell Sammy when we get back to Canada."
"What… what is the second thing?"
"This is the hard one."
Telling me that she was pregnant with another male's baby wasn't the hard one?
