The Girl He'd Overlooked
“Discuss the practicalities… of course. But are you excited… even just a little…?
That was the question Jennifer would really have liked to have asked him. Once she had recovered from the shock of being told that she was pregnant, she had been thrilled at the thought of having a baby, of having James’s baby. In the space of twenty-four hours, she had managed to wonder what the baby would look like, what sex it would be, whether he or she would attend a single-sex school or a mixed one, what care...er path he or she would follow, what his or her girlfriends or boyfriends would do for a living and at what age he or she would be married.
She was excited.
She didn’t think that excitement would feature on James’s chart of possible reactions to the news. She thought that the best she could hope for would maybe be acceptance and its close relation, resignation.
How could he not see that any marriage based on a situation where those two damning words were involved would never be anything more than a marriage of convenience?MoreLess
