“Natalia…Natalia…”
“Yes?” I replied when I realized that he had been calling my name.
The curious look on Reiner’s face told me that he had been calling my name for a while now while I was drifting off somewhere lost in my own thoughts. Reiner stared at me intently with his blue eyes as if trying to figure out what I had on my mind.
“Sorry, I was spacing out a little…” I quickly apologized.
“Are you tired? Should we go to bed early?” he asked with clear concern.
That wasn’t it at all. I wanted to look at his face, but I didn’t dare to meet his eyes. This is just crazy…
Listen, Natalia, if you’re suspecting your husband this early on in your pregnancy imagine what it’s going to be like when your belly is swollen like a huge balloon in your later months. I stuffed some food into my mouth to keep myself from sighing out loud. The food was tasteless in my mouth, and it wasn’t the cook’s fault.
“I’m fine,” I managed to reply.
