Evan

Evan was up half the night, trying to talk himself out of walking down the hallway to Carrie’s room. Being with her today—seeing the baby on the sonogram screen made him think of things that he had never considered before. Namely, a woman and a family—the whole nine yards. And for some reason now, his brain was telling him that he could have all of that with Carrie, even as irrational as it sounded when he said those words out loud. Telling her that he had feelings for her at her appointment was a giant mistake. He could tell that as soon as the words had left his mouth and Carrie looked at him as though he had lost his mind. Talk about having cold water tossed on his ego.

When he was just about to give up and walk down to her room to take back everything that he had said to her earlier, his stomach rumbled. Evan decided that a midnight snack was much safer than exposing himself to Carrie again, so he walked down to the kitchen, not even giving her door a second glance as he walked by it. He was proud of himself for not giving in to temptation but knew it would be short-lived when he found Carrie standing in the middle of his kitchen, wearing just his t-shirt, and eating ice cream directly out of the container.

“Sorry,” she said around a mouthful of ice cream. “I was hungry.”

Carrie looked down at her body and back up at him. “Um, thanks,” she squeaked. “You want some ice cream?” she asked holding the container out to him.

“Sure, if you want to share,” he teased. He sat down at the kitchen table, and she sat down next to him in the chair that he pulled out for her.

“I don’t mind sharing,” she said, handing him her spoon. They sat in silence, eating ice cream, passing the spoon back and forth and he had to admit, having her there with him felt right.

“Evan,” she breathed.

“Yes, Carrie.” He felt like he was holding his damn breath, hoping for what she might say to him next. But Evan knew better than to get his hopes up.

“We’re done all of the ice cream,” she said. He was still hungry, but not for food. Evan was done waiting for Carrie to admit that she had feelings for him. He was about to do something that he had never really done before—break the rules, and he was sure that it wouldn’t end well for either of them.

He pulled her from her chair to stand with him, and when
