Not Her Child's Fault

"I'll pick you up in an hour, is that okay?" Jane's voice broke into the line, taking all her drowsiness away.

Allie didn't wish an awkward time alone with her. Though she owed her much for taking care of the deficiencies of her daughter but she couldn't help being hurt even with just a mention of her name. She shared her husband's heart and that was a reason enough to avoid her at all cost.

"Do you want Adrian to pick you up, instead?" This raised her brow, was she playing the masochist? Was she expecting Adrian's sympathy or appreciation for offering this herself?

"No need, Dr. Jane. Trust me, I wouldn't get in your way."

"Is it because you choose Louise over him?" Her voice was filled with restrained sarcasm.
