She had been fucking around with Philip for about six months when the promotion happened. Her company was making her the General Manager of the British Division and she did not think twice. She said goodbye to Philip and packed her bags.
It was a month before she realized she was pregnant and at first she did not even want the baby. She was still young, not even in her thirties and was starting a new position but the longer she thought, she realized that she could not get rid of it. It was her blood and it would be the family she wanted but never had. By then it was too long and too awkward to call Philip and tell him the news. It was not like he was contacting her. He had moved on and so.would Rey.
The baby was born in autumn. A bouncy baby boy with a dark mop of hair and blue eyes. She named him Thomas and it was love at first sight. Rey was enamored with everything her son did. And truly she was happy. Sometimes in the three years that followed, she would think about Philip. How he was doing and such. But her fear stopped her from reaching out. What would happen anyway? Did she think he would drop everything so he could fly to London and pay house with her? That was not his style.
But then now everything was catching up. She clutched Thomas close to her when she heard a familiar voice calling her name. Philip.
