I walked closer to them and overheard everything ice ready. That fool Ice going to lose everything. I just smiled, because the noise at John F. Kennedy International Airport was like a disturbed beehive.
Emily Hayes stood by the terminal’s glass wall, watching her best friend Ashley slowly disappear into the boarding line. The flight to Miami was half an hour late, but Ashley had insisted that Emily not wait for her. “Go home to Noah,” she told her as she hugged her friend goodbye, telling her they would see each other in a week.
Emily was in no hurry to leave. For the past few months, her house no longer felt like a home. Ethan always came home late from the law firm, claiming he had urgent cases to finish, and when he was home, his mind seemed to be elsewhere. He was always lost in thought, and even the news of her pregnancy hadn’t sparked the joy Emily had expected from him.
