Io - Prologue

Prologue - Briar

“I know you're going to be really upset - I don't want you to be upset, believe me - and I know this isn't going to be easy. I really want the best for us, but this is... I guess what I’m trying to get at is… well, I mean..."
His voice shuddered on the other end of the line. I didn't want to know.

"She’s pregnant.”

. . .



Those words, spoken to me by the one person in the world who I thought I could truly trust. Those words, making my stomach do acrobatics. Those words, making the ache in my heart turn into utter gnawing. Everything I was - everything we were - disappearing. And there was nothing I could do to stop it. I was powerless - like trying to hold water between your fingers.

How did I get here?

    1. Definitely! I've been most prolific with this in between trying to fix up Spectra. My man won't let me drop Spectra, so he's been helping me rework it. This is just kind of a good way to break up the monotony. :)

    2. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure sort of write, but it's plenty fun!
