Steve had a childhood best friend named Amy, a connection forged in their innocent youth. Their friendship was deep and enduring, surviving through the trials of high school.

He promised Tatty that nothing happened between him and Amy. Steve often spoke of Amy with great affection, even mentioning that he owed his life to her.

Still, Tatty couldn’t help but feel uneasy about Amy’s presence in their lives. Tatty said she has never been Amy’s biggest fan. A turning point was when Steve had Amy as his best woman at his and Tatty’s wedding, a decision Tatty saw as a clear indication of Amy’s intrusive presence in their lives.

Amy’s behavior and attitude only fueled Tatty’s concerns. To Tatty, Amy epitomized the “pick-me girl,” always seeking Steve’s attention and validation. Tatty tried to accept Steve’s friendship with Amy, but she found herself asking Steve to end his ties with Amy, which went against her values.

Steve did not see the necessity of severing his lifelong friendship with Amy. He reassured Tatty that Amy’s presence would not affect their lives, providing a brief respite when Amy’s personal life changed. Amy quickly married after a whirlwind romance, which ended in pregnancy and swift divorce due to her infidelity. As Amy’s mental health deteriorated, her friendship with Steve deepened, and he supported her through challenging times.

Steve’s involvement in Amy’s life intensified as he accompanied her to antenatal appointments and helped prepare the nursery for her baby. His commitment to being there for Amy during her delivery further strained his relationship with Tatty. Tatty’s unease turned into outright resentment towards Amy, leading to a confrontation with Steve. Steve, caught between his wife’s displeasure and his friend’s need, struggled to navigate the situation.

The climax of their story occurred on Tatty’s birthday, a day Steve had promised to make special. They had a nice hotel booked and planned to have an expensive meal. However, fate intervened when Amy went into labor six weeks early. Tatty’s plea for Steve to prioritize their plans was met with his blunt dismissal, sparking a significant rift between them. Tatty told Steve, “This is my day. Please do not let this other woman ruin it for me.” When she said this, Steve replied, “Grow up and stop being so childish.”

Tatty then gave Steve an ultimatum: not to return home without a paternity test for Amy’s child, underscoring the depth of her suspicions and hurt. Rumors and judgments from their families further complicated the situation. Amy’s history of infidelity and her closeness to Steve led to speculation about her child’s father.
