“Fuck,” he barks, swiping his hand out and smacking the cocktail menu off the table. “How?”
I look across the bar to Beau, who’s twirling, laughing, singing on the dance floor.
Happy. Calm. At peace.
It’s an illusion.
“Well, it was a nice holiday while it lasted,” I say quietly, raising my drink to my lips, my eyes falling to Beau’s tummy. Hoping. Praying. “What time does our flight leave?”
