“I ain’t say I was fucking innocent!”

Both babies started fussing.

We shut the fuck up.

Just like that.

Heather rubbed both hands down her face.

I looked toward Carter.

My chest tightened.

There was still more.

Way fucking more.

Heather looked at me again.

“How did it start?”

I shook my head. “Does it fucking matter?”

“It matters to me.”

“He started coming around. Shit happened. Then it kept happening.”

Heather laughed bitterly.

“Of course.”

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“No, say it.”

She looked away.

“He been telling me he was leaving Sam.”

I stared at her.

“What?”

“Since before I got pregnant.”

My eyes went toward Collin again.

“He told you he was leaving my sister?”

“Yeah.”

“For you?”

“Yes, Avery. For me.”

I almost laughed.
