“Oh, I couldn’t take your drink. I’ll be fine in a minute. I usually drink diet anyway.”
“Drink it. You need the sugar. You’re pregnant?” I nodded and took the can from her and washed down the dry, salty cracker. “You can’t go without eating. I can’t believe women today. You have to gain weight to have a baby.” She sat down in the chair on the other side of the table.MoreLess
