Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful.

Alex nodded. "We spent hours just talking about you. Everyone is so excited to meet you."

Everyone? "W-What about Wendy?" I asked quietly. Its still a soft subject, but I can't go without knowing what's waiting for me there. What has she been saying?
