Natalie scoured the news for any media coverage of the factory incident. Finding none, she exhaled in relief.
It seemed the local manager had acted swiftly to contain the issue, minimizing any major impact. With Jeremy on his way, things should be resolved quickly, and the
families of the deceased would be cared for.
Just as Natalie was about to put her phone down, she noticed an unread message on Instagram. It was from an unknown user she’d followed a few days ago. She’d forgotten entirely about following this person.
She clicked on the message to read, “You don’t understand Jeremy.”
Natalie wondered if this stranger knew Jeremy or was just pranking her with a fake
account. “Who are you?” she replied.
After sending the message, she put her phone aside, grabbed her loungewear, and
headed for the bathroom.
She felt a bit smelly and noticed food stains on her clothes. Moments ago, it seemed
Jeremy didn’t care about such things before they were interrupted.
Looking back at their intimate moment, Natalie blushed and lightly patted her
cheeks. “It’s been a year since we got married. It’s not like we’re on our honeymoon.

The situation seemed opportune, a chance encounter with Jeremy. This time, she would tell him about her pregnancy.
An abortion was out of the question as she wouldn’t have another chance to
conceive. She would make sure Jeremy stayed with her.
Half–asleep, Skylar felt someone holding her. Out of habit, she snuggled closer. As she became more aware, she mumbled, “You’re back?”
“Yeah, go back to sleep,” Joe replied softly.
Exhausted, Skylar simply mumbled an “okay” and drifted back to sleep within
seconds.
Joe watched the woman nestled in his arms, his heart unexpectedly softening. Listening to her peaceful breaths, he, too, slowly fell asleep.
When Joe woke up the next morning, he asked Skylar, “Did you want to tell me something yesterday?”
Skylar woke up feeling refreshed, the previous day’s events almost forgotten.
