Chapter 18

This was bad idea. Dexter wasn't behaving like himself; he was simply too nice and I didn't know if it was because we were going to see my parents or because I had told him about my precious baby. Last night he looked so vulnerable and lost. Normally my coping mechanism would've stopped me and shut the truth away, but yesterday everything was so different. I felt as if I wanted to share my secret with him.

Now I was standing outside my parent's home, anxious to have him next to me. Mum knew that I had sworn off men for good, and I didn't want her to think that there was something going on between us. He was the exact type of man that I didn't want to get involved with, and this trip was just a favour.

I knocked a couple of times and then walked inside, feeling slightly nervous. Dexter was standing right behind me with that unusually calm expression.
