The sound of ideas was always beautiful. Melanie wanted to do it herself but became nauseous after being enclosed in the lab for too long.
She felt this was understandable and forgivable because she was pregnant. Melanie then prepared a cup of coffee and supervised from outside. It was bad for the fetus if the mother drank too much coffee while pregnant. Melanie was aware of it but still contemplating whether to keep the baby.
After assessing the pros and cons, she decided against having the child. At least, not now. However, Nathaniel desired it greatly. If she got an abortion, it would undoubtedly strain their relationship.
Nevertheless...
'What a tough decision!’
The phone vibrated. Melanie thought it was Nathaniel asking where she was, but when she picked it up, the call was from Frank. She was inexplicably flustered. Melanie quickly looked left and right, but thankfully no one was there. She then set the coffee cup down, stood up, and went to a secluded spot in the corridor.
She answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Babe, did you miss me?" Frank's teasing voice was laced with a bit of mischief.
Melanie was silent for a moment. "Yes, of course I do! I
wish you'd appear in front of me right now. Though I know, I can’t stop you from pursuing your art, so I can only miss you silently." After all, she was close enough to Frank to know what he wanted to hear.
"Really?" He was pleased. "What are you doing now, then?"
