You are such a sweet talker, she laughed softly. I forgive you Garrett. For now on, please be honest with me. I dont want any more surprises. I adore you too, and I want everything to work out between us. I dont want to lose you. Garrett smiled and leaned over the table. He kissed her gently and pulled away. She smiled and bit her lip.

He smiled. Thank you. Tina finished her wine and wiped her mouth. You ready to go.

Im very ready. He smiled and put the tip on the table. He grabbed her hand, and they walked out of the restaurant. He walked her to her car and stood next to her. She smiled and played with her keys. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Thank you for joining me and taking me back. Tina laughed softly and pushed her hair behind her ear. Garrett leaned forward and kissed her passionately. Tina wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against her car. Garrett pressed his hand against the car and pulled away. He leaned his head against hers and smiled.

I love you. Tina looked at him and sighed.

Im not ready”.

Its okay, but itll come to you. Tina smiled nervously and removed her arms from around his neck. Garrett moved away from her and opened her car door. She smiled and got in her car. Good night.

Night. He closed her door, and she started the car. He moved out of the way to let her back out. He waved her goodbye as she pulled out of the lot. Tina took a deep breath and took a drive to Bettes.

            Christina walked into the house and saw Shane sleeping on the couch. She smiled softly and waddled her way to the bathroom. The door was closed, so she waited. She walked back into the living room and looked at the TV. She crossed her arms and felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She winced and put her hand on her stomach. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes when she felt something running down her leg. She looked down and saw a paddle on the floor.
