Crushed
Daniel swiftly placed his hand on her head, giving her a gentle pat before he pulled her towards him in a very tight embrace, making Samantha cry even harder.
She felt miserable and extremely heartbroken that she physically felt the pain in her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. Her thoughts wandered to a few weeks back when she started feeling weak and she could not believe that she had not known that she was actually pregnant for a while. How could she not have known?
Thinking back, she thought that if she knew, she would have probably done things differently. Her mind was so clouded that she could not think straight and all she did was burst in tears on Daniel's arms.
He did not know what to say to make her feel better because he himself was also sorrowful. A tear that he was not aware had formed escaped from his closed eye and rolled down his cheek. He hugged her tightly as it was the only thing that he could do for her.
