Shit kabobs.Whatnow?
I pointed my finger towards the door where he recently emerged, feeling hopeful. “May I go in there?” I took a few steps, and I heard him shuffle behind me. “Can I go in there, please?” I tried to do the best animated hand gestures possible before I saw him nod, seemingly understanding what I was trying toconvey.
Relieved, I took a few steps and entered the storage room. The back was lined with shelves, and my eyes roamed one after the other until I found what I needed—or the closest to the pregnancy test I’d seen back home. I took three altogether. One for eachbrand.

My head pounded as my mind repeated the damning word over and overagain.
Lifting my hand to the side of my head, I dug my fingers into the roots of my hair, frantic and seconds away from a seriousmeltdown.
