Episode 208: Split Personality

"Three years Quent, it’s hard to believe, how many of our family and friends do you think lost bets on that one?" Justine wondered, brushing the hair from his forehead.

"So what’s the plan for today? I mean besides lunch in Paris," he teased.

Justine scrambled out of bed and slipped into her silky robe a last remnant of her old socialite self. She opened the drapes, "It’s pretty out today, really sunny, that’s probably a good omen, right? Um, I’ll go shower and then we can decide-"

"Should I join you?"

"No, hon, I’m still kind of spent from last night."

"Okay."

Justine’s hands were unsteady opening the bathroom door. She’d hidden the box under a stack of towels. She took the test waiting out the three long minutes, alone, rolling things over in her mind.

She felt guilty either way. Somehow, even hypothetically, it was hard timing. She’d wanted this when it seemed like Quentin would be her whole world, but now, now if it was positive she’d have to become one of those self-proclaimed superwomen because well, that’s what all the magazines say, isn’t it?

Justine’s smile was half-genuine and half fearful speaking to Quent, "Looks like we have more to celebrate than we ever thought."
