I couldn't help staring... At the way she kept folding and unfolding her napkin, like a little girl nervously waiting for her father to come back from the back of the grocery store. She sat there in the manner all the way through the families brunch. " Two pennies for your thoughts Mary?" Her father said."
" Oh, it's nothing, just an upset stomach is all." And her eyes went back to the small corner of the universe as if she could see how to get out of her current predicament, if she just focused long enough. They had been a sweet couple really or maybe a tad bit too much in love as it sometimes goes. To see how fast things can become permanent. As she took a deep breath inward she could feel the tiny baby inside her.
