---- Chapter 3 Joel was in full-blown panic. Before I could even say a word, he rushed on, speaking more to himself than to me. "Anna, is that it? "You both went into labor early, and because Michael and I weren't there... Is that why you and Chloe are mad? If that's the case, then yes-it's our fault. "We'll go home with you right now. Was it a boy ora girl? I've been waiting for this baby for so long..." Even Michael, usually quick to explode, stayed unusually quiet. Joel reached for me gently and wrapped an arm around my waist, trying to lift me into the car with exaggerated care. But the only thing I felt was nausea. I shoved him away. "Are you really still playing dumb? Joel, I told you-the baby is gone. The funeral's already over." ---- Joel, always the calm one, blinked rapidly as his eyes reddened. He shook his head in denial.

Michael dropped to his knees in front of Chloe the moment he stepped inside. "Please, babe, I don't want a divorce." Chloe's eyes were full of scorn. "You cheated and fell in love with someone else. I'm just giving you the freedom to be with her openly. Isn't that what you wanted?" "T didn't cheat! I don't even like Rachel! I was just jealous you used to have feelings for Sebastian, and now you're working with him every day. I only used Rachel to piss you off." Joel, too, looked torn apart by guilt as he turned to me. "I messed up, Anna. I know that. But I swear on my life, I've never had any dirty thoughts about Rachel. I've always seen her as a little sister. The only one I've ever loved is you." Istared at him.
