An hour later, we’re in my father’s car, and he’s about as stressed as I’ve ever seen him. Which is strange in a way, because I’d expected him to be furious. But this is definitely stress. It’s like he’s panicking about what I’ve done, rather than blaming me for doing it. And that just seems weird.

“Did you at least use protection?”

“No.”

I see his hand grip the steering wheel tighter. “What if you’re pregnant? That would ruin…” He meets my eyes. “It would spoil you for anyone else. You know I don’t agree with abortion, but maybe in this case—”

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing. You’re such a hypocrite. So you’re happy to persuade other girls to keep babies they don’t want, but you’ll march me down to the clinic if I’m pregnant? I’m not, by the way.”

“How do you know?” Those words could have venom in them, but they don’t. I hear hope in his voice, like I might be able to reassure him, and it’s setting me on edge. What is going on?

The truth is, I don’t know that I’m not pregnant. But the thought scares me, because I’m not sure what it would mean if I was. When I don’t answer, he slams his palm against the steering wheel and curses under his breath but doesn’t try to speak to me again.

I find my phone and bring up my last text conversation with Jillian. She has no idea what’s going on, and I have to fill her in. I need an adult conversation with someone that isn’t going to judge me.

As I start typing out a message, my father speaks again, but his voice is hesitant, like he’s thinking out loud rather than talking to me.

“Hopefully you’re right. Yes. We’ll just have to hope you’re not pregnant. With any luck, this will all go away. That man has been arrested, he’ll be going to prison, and he’ll probably forget all about you. It’s not like you’re anything special.”

That last comment, even though it didn’t sound like it was directed at me, hits me hard. “You don’t think I’m special?”

“Oh, that’s not what I meant. Don’t twist my words, Kristina.”

“It’s not like you’re anything special.” I mimic his voice. “Hard to read that any other way, dad. Jesus Christ.”

“Kristina! I don’t know where you’ve picked up this habit of swearing and cursing, but don’t for one second think that William is going to stand for it when the two of you are married.”

I grunt. “I’m not marrying William. I can’t stand him.”

“You’ll do as I tell you. He was going to propose today. Yes, you heard me, that’s why I was so desperate to get hold of you. He was going to officially ask me to give him my only daughter’s hand. That’s a big deal, Kristina, and you nearly ruined it. He’s rethinking the idea, but I think I can talk him round, keep him on board. It’s what he wants, really, and it will make everything all right again.
