Hope sat in the waiting room for what felt like hours, but in reality, it had only been one. Faith had told her what was going to happen when she went in. The doctor would go over everything with her to make sure that she was one hundred percent sure, and then they would do the procedure.
Hope tried to take deep breaths and keep herself calm. The last thing she wanted was for Faith to come out and find Hope shaking and angry. Hope needed to control herself. Control her emotions.
She didn't know what she was thinking when she showed up at Faith's house, offering to come with her. She had only planned on going over there before camp to talk with her. But then Faith was leaving, and Hope had no other options. She needed to go with her. Needed to be there for her.
Hope couldn't lie; a large part of her was hoping – praying even – that Faith would change her mind and decide to keep the baby. Hope had said it to herself in her head on the drive over, and she continued to say it over and over again while they waited in the waiting room.
But it had been over forty minutes. Hope glanced at the clock and knew that Faith hadn't changed her mind. The doctor would have gone over everything with her by now. And at this point in time, the procedure would already be long underway.
