Marvelous.
Sadie let Beth lead her out of the restaurant, sending the waitress an apologetic glance. “But look on the bright side...?” Beth suggested as they stepped through the door into the frigid evening air.
Sadie was as nauseated as hell and felt as weak as a day-old mouse. Was there a bright side? “And what might that be?”
“You could be telling me you’re pregnant. Now, that would be a disaster of epic proportions. At least with a bug, it’ll be over in a day or two.”
Beth sighed when Sadie scowled. “I’m joking, Sadie. Look, I’ll call you a cab. You should go home and climb into bed. Throw some Vitamin C down your throat and have an early night. I think I might carry on. I have friends at the Copper Kettle. I’m going to join them.”
Sadie nodded, happy to be alone, as her world tilted slowly off its axis.
She didn’t need an early night or to drink Vitamin C. What she really needed was a test. Because she had the gut-wrenching feeling that her so-called bug was going to be around for the rest of her life.
