Chapter 26

Celina POV " What baby? " Tricia and Joel instantly froze after hearing my voice. "Hi Camila" Tricia was the first to speak but I could sense the tension and uneasiness in the atmosphere. Her voice was barely above a whisper. "Are you alright? I rushed as soon as I heard the news. Why do you want to take your life darling?" Tears welled up in her eyes and I rushed to give her a warm hug." Is okay darling. Do you want to talk about it? " " No " came her short and weak reply. I glanced at Joel and I could see the lines of worry etched on his face. I broke from the hug as I held Tricia's face in my palm and made her stare at me "Do you want to stay over at my place until you are ready to come back here?" I felt these two needed time from each other. They needed to think about their past actions without having to see each other's faces, breathe, and miss each other if possible. They needed space. "No. We are fine. We can settle ourselves out and_" " Yes Camila, I would love that.
