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. However, a turning point was when Steve had Amy as his best woman at his and Tatty’s wedding. A decision that 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. This request 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. This assurance gave Tatty a brief break. It was helpful when Amy’s personal life changed.
Amy married quickly. Her whirlwind romance ended in marriage within four months of dating. Also, a baby was due. Sadly, the marriage crumbled as swiftly. This was due to Amy’s infidelity. It led to her husband’s departure. Amy’s mental health deteriorated. However, her friendship with Steve deepened. He supported her through the challenging times.
Steve’s involvement in Amy’s life intensified. 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 became 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. She told Steve not to return home without a paternity test for Amy’s child. This underscored the depth of her suspicions and hurt.
Rumors and judgments from their families further complicated the situation. Amy has a history of infidelity and is close to Steve. This led to speculation about her child’s father.
Tatty further revealed that if people wondered why Amy had no friends. It was because she would cheat with her friends’ boyfriends. Tatty’s decision to spend her birthday with Steve’s mother was revealing. His mother prefers Tatty over her son. It showed the emotional and familial fallout from the situation.
In her moment of distress, Tatty turned to the camera, sharing her story with the world. She ended by telling Steve to enjoy his “new family.” The message was a sad reminder of her betrayal and loss.
