Silent No More (25 page)

“I have to,” he says as he makes his way to the
door. His voice is sad.

“Nick?” I whisper as he’s opening it. He pauses
before exiting. “I’m pregnant.”

I hear a loud gasp escape his mouth and Nick grabs
the doorframe. I can’t see his face to gauge his reaction, but I quickly
remember what Nikki told me. Nick doesn’t want kids.

“Is it mine?” he whispers back.

“Yes,” I say and he drops his head. After a few
seconds, he proceeds out the door, closing it behind him, but doesn’t look
back.

He’s gone and I’m alone again.

The End…until
SILENT GUILT

About The Author

Nancy was born and
raised in Mississippi where she still resides with her husband and son. She is
an avid reader and
can usually be found with her cell phone or
iPad
reading an
ebook
. Writing is
a passion. She does because she really loves it and to get all the characters
that just seem to pop up out of the blue out of her head.

When she isn’t reading the next indie novel or writing or
working her day job at an Academic Medical Center, Nancy loves spending time
with her guys (hubby and son). They love
four wheeler
riding and finding new ATV trails.

I love to hear from
my readers! You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, or through email. From time
to time I’ll do a promotion.
Especially when a new book is
releasing or soon to be released.
