STEPH

My body trembles as Cal yells, hissing each word from his lips. I’ve never seen him this angry, not at me, anyway. Usually I would kiss him to calm him down, but that’s not an option right now.

“You can’t come home and act like nothing’s changed. When everything has changed.”

“Who’s fault is that?”

“You’re not seriously blaming me. You’re the one that swanned off to the other side of the globe without a trace and never bothered to get in touch.”

“So you thought it was all right to have our kid and not tell me? Were you ever going to tell me we have a son?” He spits the words. His lips press into a thin, hard line, and his eyes pierce my heart as they throw daggers at me.

“I called you several times. You were unreachable. I even wrote you a letter, like you care. You couldn’t handle it the last time I thought I was pregnant, so I wasn’t holding out much hope this time around.” I wrap my arms around my body as the suddenly chilled air swathes my bare arms. Or is it the chill from his icy gaze sending shivers through me? “Just because you’re back now, you think you can act like you’re father of the year. I told you, don’t trouble yourself. He’s not yours.”

“Fuck off. He’s mine. I knew he was mine as soon as I looked into his eyes. Anyone can see the resemblance.” He waves a hand in the building's direction.

“Well, being the sperm donor doesn’t mean you can claim him as your son when you feel like it. You should have been here. You’ve missed so much.”

His hands grip his hair, pulling back from his face. “You could have called me. I would have come home, and we could have sorted something out.”

Call him, he says. Who does he think I am, Mystic Meg? “I tried calling you several times. You changed your number. I’m not a pissin’ psychic.”

“Don’t make excuses. There are plenty of ways you could have contacted me if you bothered to try.”

“What like, my crystal ball, oh wait…maybe I could have consulted the tarot cards…wait…I got it, maybe I should have just held your journal and the number would have come to me. Stop being a dickhead.”

“I’m the dickhead? You didn’t want anything to ruin your perfect fucking life with golden balls. Just admit it.”

“That’s not true. I even—”

“Save your excuses.”

He won’t listen. How can he say this? He's the one that didn't answer my letter because he was in a relationship with Priya. I tried, I really did.

“Don’t you think I wanted you to come home? I wanted it so badly. I prayed he was yours, so I would selfishly have a piece of you with me forever. A piece of you that would never leave me, that I could hold and love without fear of rejection.” I hold my throat as a strangled sob escapes.

He glares at me, rubbing his fingers across his forehead.

“You were on the other side of the world rekindling things with your ex.
