Heather stared at Carter so long I shifted her higher against me.

“He made a baby with you.”

I nodded.

“And was coming over here telling me⁠—”

Her voice broke off.

“Heather.”

“That motherfucker.”

She turned away.

“Heather—”

“That motherfucker was telling me we were gonna be a family.”

I looked at Collin.

“Heather.”

She didn’t look at me.

“What?”

I pointed toward the living room.

“Who is Collin’s father?”

She went quiet.

My stomach twisted.

“No.”

Heather finally looked at me.

“No fucking way.”

Her eyes started shining, but her face stayed hard.

“Avery—”

She swallowed.

Then said it anyway.

“Xay.”

Everything around me went quiet.

I looked down at Carter in my arms.
