Chapter 6: Pregnant
Cassidy ended up not being able to eat anything. The moment the food touched her tongue, her stomach twisted, and she rushed back to the restroom, overcome with nausea. When she returned, Georgia’s concern had doubled.
"That’s it," Georgia said firmly. "I’m taking you to the hospital."
Cassidy shook her head, pale but composed. "No, I’ll be fine. If this doesn’t go away by tomorrow, I promise I’ll go to the clinic."
Georgia didn’t look convinced, but finally relented. She finished her meal while Cassidy just sipped on water. When they left the restaurant, Georgia apologized again.
"I’m so sorry, Cass. I was the one who asked you out to eat, but you couldn’t even eat anything..."
Cassidy gave her a tired smile. "It’s okay. Really. I still enjoyed seeing you."
Before they parted ways, Cassidy asked, "How long are you staying in Manhattan?"
"Just until tomorrow," Georgia replied. "I have a charity event I’m organizing back home, so I need to be back by tomorrow night."
"I’m really glad we got to meet and talk," Cassidy said sincerely.
"Me too. I’m happy to see you’re doing okay after everything. I hope now you can finally do everything you’ve always wanted to... become whoever you want to be," Georgia replied, giving her a warm smile.
The two sisters embraced tightly before parting, both agreeing to stay in touch more often through calls and texts.
