But a week before, Linda called to say they wouldn’t be coming. She gave no explanation, only a vague, “You wouldn’t understand.”Thanksgiving morning was quiet, just Ethan and me, until a delivery arrived.

Hours later, we arrived at Linda and Rick’s. Ethan held up the box and asked, “What is this?” That’s when Linda, teary-eyed, admitted the truth: she was pregnant.
