Chapter 286: Swerve

Sasha's head spun as she and Nick rode in the car back to the building that housed her apartment. She felt like she'd heard things that should make her ecstatic—Nathan saying she could return to Thana if she wasn't pregnant? But for some reason, she couldn't allow herself to believe it.

She prayed, literally prayed, the entire way back, that she was right, and that she wasn't pregnant.
