“I have some people I’d like you to meet.”
The sight of Bret’s two girls… The memories Nina kept locked away came surging back. She gritted her teeth and tried to look pleasant.
The girls said hello, big smiles on their sweet faces.
Bret’s expression faded from that of a proud parent to deep concern. She should explain, but her heart was being shredded.
“Girls, why don’t you go back to my office? I’ll be there in a minute.”
The minute the girls were gone, she wrapped her arms around her waist.
“Are you all right? I never considered that you might not like children.”
“I like children.”
“Really? You went pale as a ghost.”
“I was surprised, that’s all.” Tears filled her eyes.
“Nina. What’s going on?”
“Nothing. I’m fine.” The sob escaped her throat.
Bret steered her toward the sofa and sat beside her. “I’m not leaving until you tell me what’s wrong.”
She stared into Bret’s eyes. He was safe. Trustworthy. Why was it so hard to say the words?
“I had a daughter. She died. Five years ago today.”
This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
