Victor’s mouth opened, but no words came out at first. Then he shook off his surprise.
“Are you serious?” he asked.
“Yes, I’ve been thinking about it for weeks,” I replied.
Why did Victor look so shocked? During the few times we had spoken about kids, he said he wanted a family.
Tears stung my eyes, and I turned away from him. “Maybe I shouldn’t have brought it up.”
Victor gently turned me around. “I know you’ve been upset since Amy had the baby, but I didn’t know it was because you want one too.”
“When I first held Brendre, I felt such a rush of love that it was all I could think about for days,” I explained. “I never thought much of babies before. I think it's because my adoptive parents rejected me when they had their own baby.”
“That makes sense.” Victor too
