Karen spun around with a look of utter shock on her face.
"You—"
"I went to City Hospital and checked your medical record."
Karen froze in place.
Jeffrey clenched his jaw, fighting to hold back tears that threatened to fall before Karen.
"The child I've been longing for... are you really going to end it?"
Karen didn’t respond.
"Say something! Do you really not want our baby?"
Karen dug her nails into her flesh, avoiding his gaze. She feared that looking into his eyes would soften her resolve.
"It's over; it should never have been in the first place."
"Karen, you promised me. You said you'd have my child! You told me you loved me! How can the incident from two years ago make you take back everything you ever offered me overnight?" Jeffrey stood before her, half-shrouded in darkness, exuding a silent, forlorn air. "I know I messed up before, big time, thinking nothing mattered more than a good time, and feelings were the last thing I wanted. But after I met you, I really wanted to change!"
Despite their short time together, Jeffrey had truly made an effort to revolve his world around Karen, aside from his hours at the office.
When she worked, he was there. When she went home, he'd grab his car keys and follow eagerly.
To get the blessing of Derek and Serena, he'd knelt without a second thought, offering the sincerest promise he could make.
But why did it all vanish so suddenly?
Jeffrey was at a loss for words.
He couldn't promise there wouldn't be more ex-girlfriends showing up, or old flames to extinguish.
"Jeffrey, if you're a man, you'll go back to Paige. She needs you more than I do right now, and so does your daughter."
"But I don't love her..."
"Does it matter who you love at this point?" Karen moved away slightly, her voice heavy, "You love me, but we can't be together."
"Karen..."
"Jeffrey, please, give me a chance to live my life. I'm still young; I don't want to be a single mom or fight over a man with other women. Just go, I'm begging you, okay?"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
