After losing my baby, I found out my husband was my sister’s future baby’s father — karma surfaced for them not long after.

“Will you come with me?”

Something flickered across his face. “I can’t. I’ve got that meeting in Riverside. Remember?”

“On a Saturday?”

“Henderson wants to meet at his lake house. It’s a whole weekend thing.”

I wanted to argue. I wanted to tell him I needed him there, that I couldn’t face my sister’s happiness alone. But the words stuck in my throat.

“Okay,” I said instead.
