Megan sat down and immediately grabbed Tina’s hands. “I’m so sorry about nagging you to come and meet Shawn… Can you forgive me?” she asked.
“Of course,” Tina replied, hiding her true feelings behind a half-smile. “I’m sorry I reacted that way. I should be happy for you. Tell me about the adoption.”
“I don’t know, Tina. I don’t want to upset you,” Megan said, avoiding eye contact.
Tina pressed on. “Our friendship means a lot to me, so I’ll try,” she said, leaning forward to show her eagerness. Megan frowned slightly but started talking, briefly sharing about the adoption.
“It’s a long process. There’s tons of paperwork, and most of the time, you’re just waiting to get that call,” her friend said as Tina nodded.
