Chapter 12

It's getting close to four p.m., and he's been gone for nearly two hours. I sit on the sofa staring at the elevator doors, waiting for him to come home to me. I've tried calling him, twenty-four times to be exact, but he keeps ignoring me. I've screwed up; he's going to leave me. I know it. They say couples that experience miscarriage are more likely to split. I take my eyes off the elevator and look down at my hands in my lap. My tear-soaked face feels horrible, and my eyes feel very sore. I decide to go and wash my face and put some cold water on my eyes. I make my way to the en-suite, look in the mirror, and see my blotchy red face completely overwhelmed with sadness. I turn on the cold water and splash my face.

I hear the elevator chime. I quickly dry my face.

"Jeni?" I hear him call out. "She's left me."

I hang the towel up. "I'm in here." I run into the bedroom.

"Oh, thank God." He rushes up to me. He goes to put his arms out to hug me but backs away. I swallow a lump in my throat and move in to embrace him. He inhales sharply when I hold him, he hesitates to hold me.

I can't believe what I did last night, and I'm going to spend the rest of forever making it up to you. I know things are strained with my father, and I know you're tolerating him for my sake. Jeni, I'll never be like him. I promise."

I pull back from him, still in his arms, so I can see his face. I kiss him softly.

"I've been thinking ... What did you mean when you said that he held you down and showed you whose boss? Whom are you talking about?" he asks, frowning with saddened eyes.

I gulp. He caught that, did he? I exhale. Guess I'd finally better tell him. "I know I haven't told you much about Jason, and there are a couple of reasons for that. One, because he's not worth talking about and, two, because I know it'll just make you angry to hear how he treated me."

"Baby, if it helps me to understand your fears better, then maybe it's time I knew more about your ex." He takes my hand.

I nod and inhale sharply. "Jason, as you know, was controlling. He was very strict with me and what I was allowed to do. If I did something that wasn't what he deemed to
