Heather looked at her too.

Avery swallowed.

“I’m pregnant.”

My eyes closed.

Of course.

Why the fuck wouldn’t she be?

I opened them.

I laughed.

I couldn’t stop.

It just kept coming.

“He thinks it’s his.”

I stared at her.

“You told Keith you’re pregnant with his baby?”

“Yes.”

“Knowing it’s Xay’s?”

“Yes.”

I leaned back.

“Jesus fucking Christ.”

“I know.”

“No, Avery. I don’t think you do.”

“I do.”

“You don’t.”

I felt sick.

“How long did Xay know Carter was his?”

Avery whispered, “Always.”

“And Collin?”

Heather nodded. “Always.”
