He Let Her Sit in My Seat

When my husband came to pick me up from the hospital, my best friend was sitting in the passenger seat.

Her smile was still bright and generous, but she showed no intention of giving up the seat.

"Long time no see. You don‘t mind me sitting in front, do you, Claire?"

Felix in the driver’s seat said nothing, simply changing the subject.

"How did the hospital checkup go?"

I clutched the pregnancy test report in my hand, opened the back door, and said slowly.

"Just indigestion."

I thought Moira wouldn’t show up at today’s class reunion.
