CHAPTER SIX

IT SEEMED THAT the more you looked for excuses, the easier it became to find them, but the point at which it became obvious that something was being avoided was inevitably going to arrive. And there was only so long you could put off doing something that you knew had to be done, no matter how hard you knew it was going to be.

It was no big deal to avoid seeing Noah that next week. All Abby needed to do was to say she was too busy to go to basketball training, which was partly true because she’d been tasked with starting an update on all the information pamphlets that the hand clinic made available for their patients. Currently, she was working on an activity list for people recovering from injury or surgery on their hands so that they would know what was permissible when instructed to keep to light or moderate activities, as well as the information given to people facing surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Abby had convinced herself that there was no great urgency in telling Noah. She’d only done a home test and even Lisa had said that she should not only repeat it but have a more definitive blood test done.

She also needed more information before she would be able to answer the questions that Noah would undoubtedly have—like how far along in her pregnancy she was. Abby had no idea, but if she was at a really early stage, she might have to consider whether or not she needed to tell him at all, given his tragic history and how this could affect him. It was obviously going to affect their friendship and, while it was new, it was something that Abby didn’t want to lose.

The possibility that she might decide she simply wasn’t ready for parenthood because of her age or career or disability or the fact that she was lacking a life partner might be something she didn’t want to consider yet but it would have to be faced soon. Time was not her friend right now.

She could legitimately claim that she was too busy treating a patient to stop and talk to Noah on an occasion when he happened to visit the clinic in the days before the appointment she had booked. She knew that he’d been told that she was at a doctor’s appointment the following week when she’d missed the team meeting about new patients but she also knew that none of her colleagues had any idea that her appointment was with an obstetrician rather than any of the more usual members of the medical team that had looked after her for most of her life.

It was, therefore, more than a little disconcerting to find Noah, with a worried frown on his face, at the door of her office later that same afternoon. As she stared at him, unable to find a smile, he came inside and closed the door behind him.

‘I just came to check that you’re okay,’ he said.
