I took another deep breath and prepared for the second wave of disappointment that would come when I opened the bathroom door. Clutching the test in one hand my other hand trembled as it reached for the door handle. This was the part that I hated, the part where my best friend’s hopes were dashed against a concrete brick wall that seemed next to impossible to get over.
“Is everything alright in there?” I heard Dale yell before the sound of Lee hushing him. No doubt my amazing best friend was telling his husband to give me all the time I needed.
Yet there was no point in taking any more time. The longer I waited the harder it would be to see the expressions on their faces.
I pushed the handle down and pulled the door open to find them waiting expectantly on the other side.
