She Had To Pull Herself Together

Hazel made her way down the mountain as carefully as she could considering how distracted she was. There was no way. Maybe her period hadn't come because of stress. Or because it was irregular anyway and the pills had stopped fixing the problem.

No. She couldn't think about what that would mean right now. This was nothing more than a precaution.

Hazel bought a multipack of pregnancy tests and some gourmet salted caramel flavored hot chocolate to help calm her nerves and headed back to the cabin. While waiting through the torturously long three minutes of anxiety for the sticks to show results, she focused on drinking her hot chocolate.

It was delicious but wasn't a sufficient distraction. She was totally freaking out.
