Devil In The Details – MercyAnn Summers

I shake my head and then manage to say through my residual emotional hiccups, “I just want to be perfect.” “No one is perfect, so get that idea right out of your head.” “Turns out Ren may as well be,” I mutter, my words coming out whiny. “I highly doubt that’s true,” Jessica responds with a snort. “But as long as he is to you, that’s all that matters.” “I think,” Issa says as she slides off the bed, stands beside Jessica.

“That if Ren wasn’t going to forgive you, he wouldn’t have called us.” “Yeah,” Jessica adds. “It’s quite obvious the man wants to help you, so how about you do your part and let it go for now.” “And you let us do our part, by helping you see the good in you.” Issa holds a hand out to me, and I scowl, annoyed by all the good sense the two of them are speaking.

She waves her hand and after a moment I take it, pushing the blankets back and swinging my legs over. My feet hit the floor just as she tugs and I come to my feet in a rush, then weave slightly. The room tilts. My stomach flips. And I immediately realize the grave mistake I’ve just made. I reach for the trash bin Jessica had left right beside the bed, barely managing to get it under my face before the wrenching begins.

It’s painful and seems to go on forever even though there’s next to nothing left in my stomach for me to heave up. Eventually, I sit back on the side of the bed, resting the trash bin on my lap as I try to catch my breath. Noting the silence, I glance around to find Issa and Jessica both watching me with matching looks of horror.

I shrug then laugh. “Did I mention that I’m pregnant?” OceanofPDF.com Running drills after no sleep is always a fun experience. Running drills while your emotions are completely fucked is a fun experience for only you. “Fucking back off, Rafferty,” Warren yells, picking himself off the ice after I ran him over—again. Laughing, I skate off, not at all sorry that I’ve made him eat ice several times this session.

I mean, at least I’m not trying to stab him while his back is turned in a dark locker room, so he should be grateful. The whistle sounds and Coach shouts, “Get some water.”
