A few days later, I was ready to drop the question. The hints I’d been giving to Becca didn’t confirm anything, but she seemed very positive. I’d been getting extra smiles, which was saying something, as lately she was warm and down to earth more than before.
I knew the incident with Allison was still on her mind. Security and their slip up nearly cost her not only her own life but Dahlia’s. A shiver went down my spine at the idea of finding them lying bleeding on the floor, dead because of Allison.
I was very grateful Becca did what she did.
Still, it took its toll on her. She sometimes cried to herself in the bathroom, and I was happy to comfort her. Thankfully, most of the time, her mind was on the new baby on the way. The doctor kept reporting the developing baby was healthy, which was a relief for both of us.
