Chapter 53

• I couldn't stop thinking about the previous night. Lukas fell asleep even though he doesn't need sleep. Was he trying to avoid talking to me? The question made my stomach clench.
• I gripped the cup tighter, not bothering to take another sip. Suddenly I didn't feel like drinking it all. Anxiety bubbled in my stomach, and I could feel the clamminess in my hands. My breathing elevated as I stared at Lukas from the corner of my eyes. He was in blissful ignorance, enjoying the warm liquid. Was I the only one overthinking about it? It was just sex!
• Then again, it wasn't. We should not have slept together because it cannot be just physical. I was having his baby. If something happened between us, then everything would fall apart, and I didn't want my baby to live without either of us. I endured that pain, and it isn't pleasant.
