“Exactly, that’s why he likes to lay low when he gets the chance.”
More lies, the truth becoming clear with every passing moment. Not just to me, to Addy as well. She shoots me a knowing look and then returns her attention to Jones who has somehow changed the topic of conversation and taken a seat next to her on the picnic table.
Wyatt.
Looking over my shoulder, my eyes are drawn to the bar. I know where to find him when I’m ready. I also know where to avoid until the time is right. If there ever becomes a right time to destroy someone’s world.
For a moment, I try to put myself in Wyatt’s shoes. The person you loved walked away from you without any explanation. Five years later they show back up, with a child in tow. You become a parent in the blink of an eye.
Shit!
Lola.
Jones will meet Lola tomorrow. He’ll be able to see the resemblance. One look in that little girl’s eyes and there will be no doubt who her father is.
If I was planning on keeping her a secret any longer, those plans just flew out the window. Unless I retract Jones’s invite. Looking over to where he and Addy are talking, sitting as close as humanly possible, I know I can’t do that to him. Or to her.
I have twenty-four hours to figure this shit out before my secret is revealed. Maybe I should walk over to the bar right now and confess all my sins. If only I had the strength.
