“I’m agreeing to your marriage offer now,” I said into the phone, my voice barely steady. “Just… hurry up and pick me.”

There was a pause. Then his deep, confused voice came through. “You’re agreeing now? After rejecting it before? What about Clinton?”

“I’m divorcing him,” I said firmly. “So if you still want to marry me, come get me in a week.”

I hung up before I could hear his answer, hands shaking as I clutched the ultrasound — the last piece of the baby I lost in that crash my half-sister caused.
