She said she wanted to keep the baby—he nodded and drove her straight to a hospital.

Unheard secrets

As I stood there, snatches of words from Drew's conversation drifted over to me - "dates", "decisions" - each one hitting me like a blow. The trust, once the foundation of our relationship, began to crumble under the weight of this revelation. All this behind my back? I thought bitterly as pain and defiance mingled inside me. When Drew finally ended the conversation, he avoided my gaze, and that very avoidance revealed more than words ever could. The façade had fallen - and we both knew it. It was time to speak the truth that had been silent between us for far too long.

Time for confrontation

A wave of hot anger rose up inside me - I couldn't take this quietly any longer. "Drew," I began, my voice calm but trembling with suppressed emotion. "Who did you talk to? What dates? What decisions?" He lifted his head, clearly surprised by my sudden directness, and for a moment I thought I detected a trace of guilt in his gaze. But then he fell silent again, and in that silence lay a thousand unspoken truths. I didn't back down, my heart was racing, but my determination was stronger. "I need answers," I said, each word a promise that I would face it - no matter how painful the truth was.
