Following Steven
The sun had already made its halfway journey across the sky, and with every step she took, Jessica could feel the heaviness of her pregnancy, the rhythmic pulsing of her heart, and the incessant ticking of the clock, each tick echoing her pursuit. She had devoted herself to following Steven for almost an hour and a half, even as exhaustion crept into her muscles.
With each passing minute, Jessica felt the unsettling swell of doubts about her recent marriage to Steven grow exponentially. These feelings waged a fierce battle against her deep-seated regret for possibly endangering not just herself, but also the innocent life of their unborn child. As she delved deeper into the situation, the oppressive cloud of mistrust began to dissipate, revealing that her suspicions were, in fact, rooted in truth.
