Contract Marriage: I Will Never Love You

Back then continues...

Sarah

The next day, things go from bad to worse.

I hear a sharp knock on my door, and when I open it, Rebecca stands there, her cheeks flushed pink, eyes bright with excitement.

"Oh my god, Sarah, why didn’t you tell me!?" she squeals, pushing past me into the apartment without waiting for an invitation.

I close the door slowly, trying to compose myself.

"What do you mean?" I manage, forcing a smile as I already know what this is about.

Rebecca clasps her hands together, drawing a deep breath. "You are pregnant!" she declares, her voice ringing through my apartment. "How the hell did this happen? I didn’t even realize you slept with Matthew."

That’s because I didn’t.

The words are on the tip of my tongue, but I swallow them back. "It just happened," I say instead.

Rebecca throws herself onto my couch, kicking off her shoes. "And now you’re getting married! Your mom called me this morning, asking if I’d be your maid of honor. She’s already talking about venues and caterers. She sounded... well, not thrilled, but definitely in full planning mode."
