Goodbye Sebastian.
The shock of what had just happened was too much for Carol, who sat still in stunned silence for over ten minutes after Sebastian had left, to bear. There was a ringing sound in her ears, which refused to go even after she shook her head several times to clear them. She had stopped crying, in fact, her tears had been shocked dry due to what just took place. Of course, she had known that there would be more than one outcome when she told him she was pregnant, one of which would be that he would be outraged and tell her he wanted nothing to do with it, or that he would accept it, whether he was happy about it or not.
