Years past her thirtieth birthday, English professor Caroline Jones' biological clock isn't just ticking, it's screaming, but her boyfriend seems to be dragging his feet.
Caroline's attempt at an ultimatum shatters their troubled relationship, leaving her no closer to her goals, and her dream of motherhood seems to be slipping away. That is, until Victor, her handsome former student, shows up with an offer she can't refuse.
Suddenly, Caroline finds herself forced to make an unexpected choice... is Victor only her baby-daddy, or has the love of her life been with her all along?
Victor Martinez paused in front of the office of his favorite professor. He had taken all four of his English classes from Dr. Caroline Jones, and even though he had long since completed the requirement, he liked to stop by and say hello to her now and again. She was not only one of the most caring and involved professors he had ever met – almost more like a friend than a teacher – but she was also young and exceedingly pretty. He was close to graduating, and the thought that he might never see her again made him want to stop in one last time.
Through the closed door, he heard her normally soft and musical voice. Today it was raised to nearly a shout, angry, and tinged with grief.
“No, and that’s final,” she said harshly. And then, a moment later, “No, it was your responsibility to make sure I knew how you felt, since you…” her voice broke, “you were the one with the unusual priorities.” There was a long pause and then, “It’s over, William. Don’t contact me again.” The telephone clanged into the receiver loudly enough Victor could hear it from the hallway. He could also hear her crying.
One of his favorite people in the world was hurting. The sound drew Victor like a magnet. He had to try to help her. He knocked gently and opened the door without waiting for a reply.
