“Ethan.”
“Eighteen months.”
My entire body went cold.
Eighteen months earlier, I had still been going through IVF.
For five years, Ethan had watched me endure appointments, injections, failed cycles, and phone calls I eventually became afraid to answer.
Then, six months earlier, Atlas and Owen had finally been born.
Through all of it, I had trusted Ethan completely.
We shared passwords.
Bank accounts.
Calendars.
I believed there was nothing important about our lives that one of us knew and the other didn’t.
