Sybil’s fingers trembles and as she sends the text message to Andy. It’s better this way, because she couldn’t stand to look him in the face and break the news to him.
Hopefully, he would be so mad that he won’t want to see her when he gets into town.
For weeks he talked of how they would get married, so she would return to Pennsylvania with him and she had been joyful.
Now, those dreams are never going to be. It all seems so surreal as she stares into the distance.
She’s loved Andy forever and everyone thought that they would end up together.
How she had ended sleeping with Jason still puzzles her. All she remembers was cuddling up to him as he helped her to the truck. A night out in town, several drinks and she was out like light.
Jason was a good friend to both of them and now this.
She wonders how he would take the news that he is to become a father. There will be ripples in town.

Oh dear! One mistake and it has changed her whole life! How sad that she will no longer have a life with Andy. I wonder now if she will have a life with Jason? One thing is for sure, she is going to be having a baby. Wonderful story, Jacqueline! I feel very sad for her. 😦

It’s quite a shame. I don’t think Andy took it well and in my mind, Jason tried to be a good husband and a father, but she never quite loved him as she should. Sometimes, one mistake can cost a whole lot. Thank you my lady.

Hopefully. That’s the best she can do. I think Jason loved her secretly for a long time.

That was my read and I’m hoping she also loved him but didn’t realize it because she was so wrapped up in the fairytale with the other guy.

Great story. Sad she thinks Andy is going to be upset about the baby, I hope he’s not. He’s not a good man for her to marry if he can’t roll with the punches.
