As Emma sat at her desk one quiet afternoon, she received an unexpected delivery. Opening the box, she found a cake with an unsettling message and the pregnancy test she had carelessly left behind. Now, she had a choice: go home and tell her husband the truth, or let him leave without explanation.
While typing an email, the office delivery guy showed up at Emma’s door. He was beaming, holding a bright pink bakery box.“Good afternoon, Emma!” he said excitedly. “This is for you!” May be an image of cookie, cake and text“Thanks, Nico,” she responded, confused. She hadn’t ordered anything, and there was no office celebration. Maybe her husband, Jake, had sent her a treat from his bakery.
The office buzzed around her, but all Emma could focus on was the mystery of the cake. She opened the box and froze. Written in bold black icing were the words: I am divorcing you.
Emma’s heart sank. Jake had found the test she had carelessly thrown in the trash that morning. She meant to take it with her to hide from him, but in her rush, she forgot. And now, he thought the worst.
