Chapter 7 - The Dramatic Version
Years later, people still told the dramatic version.
The bright big-box store checkout lane.
The fluorescent lights.
The blue baby blanket with the $14 tag.
David snatching it from the conveyor.
We’re not wasting my money on this!
His hand gripping Nora’s upper arm.
The sharp pivot.
The shove into the padded counter.
Nora dropping to one knee, clutching her stomach.
David raising his hand again.
Wyatt charging in.
Catching the wrist.
Twisting the arm safely behind David’s back.
You’re done touching her.
Nora whispering, My baby… something’s wrong.
David secretly reaching for his phone.
The glowing message.

His face going pale as he looked toward the security camera.
