do nothing the way I do,” she said in frustration. “I have about a million voices yelling at me to get busy, and not a one of them so far telling me what it is I should be doing. I need to sort through all that noise and make that plan. I should be updating my résumé, making lists of companies where I could inquire about jobs, start networking again.”
“If you know all that, why aren’t you doing it?”
“I don’t know,” she admitted. “I guess I’m not ready. Or I’m afraid they’ll all have the same reaction to me being pregnant.”
“Or maybe it’s not what you really want anymore,” Wade suggested quietly.
Gabi frowned, genuinely shocked by the suggestion. “What?”
He grinned. “A scary thought after all that careful planning for so many years, huh?”
“Of course it’s what I want,” she insisted, though there was no mistaking the defensive note that had crept into her voice. She recognized that as a clear sign she wasn’t as sure of herself as she wanted to be.
“Then why haven’t you printed out the résumés or made those calls?”
“I’ve been...”
“Busy? That’s not what you said.”
She scowled at him. “Who needs a shrink when you’re around?”
He laughed. “Just throwing out a few things for you to consider. I don’t know you that well. Maybe I’ve gotten it all wrong.”
“You have,” she said flatly. “In fact, first thing tomorrow, I’m going to come up with a new plan.” She nodded in satisfaction. “There, you see. I have a manageable goal and a timetable.”
“Good for you. I’ll look forward to hearing all about it. Now we probably need to go inside and see how things are going between Jimmy and your dad.”
“Sure. Right,” she said, her tone disgruntled.
Wade stopped her just before they went inside. “No reason to be upset, okay? You will figure this out.”
“Of course I will,” she said with a confidence she was far from feeling. She would figure it out, because this baby was coming and she had no other choice.
