It’s seven months since we found out I’m expecting, and Tom made me quit my job. 

“How was your day?” He asks, as he sits opposite me.

My feet are swollen, and my back hurts. He notices this, and he frowns briefly. He raises his eyes to meet mine.

“Your feet.” He says.

“Its normal. They hurt.” I reply.

He places a cushion on his lap and takes my feet, I am surprised by his gesture. He stands massaging me, who knew Tom could be this gentle? Is he warming up to me, or is he feeling guilty?

I watch as his hands work magic on my feet and ankles, I almost fall for him. Almost.

The next morning, what I see on the leading online tabloid almost makes me fall off my bed.

Tom! Tom is with a beautiful brunette woman. He has his hand around the woman’s figure, and the woman is smiling straight into his eyes, as Tom looks down at her with..what? Attraction?

They are both in black outfits, and they look so good together. The heading is written in bold.
