At two in the morning, after finishing a grueling twelve-hour emergency room shift, I spotted a young woman sitting outside the hospital with two newborn babies.

He looked at her.

“You told me you took Emily to Sophie’s house after the hospital.”

“I did.”

“Then why did Daniel find her stranded outside with the babies?”

Nathan shifted uncomfortably.

“We argued. She refused to get into the car.”

Emily stared at him.

“You drove away with my phone and the diaper bag.”

“I knew Sophie would help you.”

“Her car was broken,” Emily replied. “You knew that.”

Nathan shrugged.

“I needed some time to calm down.”

“Then why did you tell me you’d bought supplies for the babies?”

“I did buy things!”

I placed the pharmacy receipt on the table.

“That’s strange, because I bought everything Emily needed that night.”

Nathan glared at me.

“You’ve hated me for ten years. You’re twisting this.”

“I didn’t write your complaint, Nathan.”

He froze.

I placed a copy beside his plate.
