Falter

“Emotional and beautiful.”

When he said his vows, he told me how much he loved my determination and strength.

If I wanted it, I got it.

Except now all I want is to have his baby. And for the first time ever, no matter how much I want it, no amount of strength and determination can make it happen.

With each negative test, my confidence waivers and I start to lose sight of who I am.

Each month, my doubt swells, creating a space between us.

Through it all, I know I’m his.

But will he still be mine when we falter?

*Falter is about the same couple, Olivia and Kent, who first appeared in Liar. While it is recommended that Liar be read first, Falter can be read on its own.
