He pulls back and looks at her again knowing that it would be so easy to go forward and have hot, passionate sex with her. “I have to go home to my wife,” he says not looking at her. “I’m sorry Mallory.”

Before she can reply, he has left her bedroom and her door has been closed. She turns around and covers her exposed breasts with her arms as she feels her eyes swell with water. Despite always having a lot of confidence, she knows that deep down she has many insecurities, just like any other young woman. She lets a tear fall from her eye as she picks up her bra.

“I won’t be a fool,” she whispers as she gets dressed again. “I know you want me,” she tells herself as realizes that she must be missing something that Helen has. “I need what Helen has to make you love me Adam.”

She looks around the room and wonders what Helen has that she doesn’t. What is it about her that makes Adam always go running back to her. As Mallory looks back at her bed, she sees her teddy bear. Then it dawns on her; “Of course,” she whispers to herself. “She has Adam’s baby.”
