And I had to admit—for the first time, I enjoyed watching this show. Normally, my guts were in a knot, wondering what kind of horseshit they were going to spew about me.

And Jillian.

But so far tonight—nothing. It looked like they were onto other things, and that suited me just fine.

The show continued on their feel-good theme for the evening. Gigi and Beau and his twins were out at a playground. Seeing Beau as a father—made me happy as fuck for the guy. Those kids were cute, and you could tell how much they loved him.

Next, it showed Trey and Lexi out for a hike. Those two really got along well. I’ve never seen Trey look at another woman the way he looked at his wife. She was fully enamored with him, as well. And again, I was glad he found that. And kept it.

The large screen in the back faded to black, and the camera zoomed right in on Marco. “But, not everyone on the teams appear to be getting along.” Marco paused for a long moment. Well, he couldn’t be talking about the men’s team. Other than the regular jabs, nobody was arguing. Not as far as I knew, anyway.

It must be the women’s team.

Marco stepped away and the big screen started playing—holy shit.

Holy.

Motherfucking.

Shit.

It showed Jillian trying to talk to me in the parking lot at the rink. There wasn’t any audio.

Which made it better.

And worse.

I looked plenty pissed right off—while Jillian stood there with a meek expression her face. Until that expression turned sad.

Fuck.

It looked like I was being the asshole.

Okay, so I was being an asshole.

But she’d been a bigger one to me.

First.

Not that I could tell anyone that.

Nope.

Because if I did—I’d have to admit I was a liar and a cheater as well.

This was a lose/lose situation for me.

The screen played me peeling out of the parking lot like I was on fire.

And it showed Jillian wiping underneath her eyes.

Fuck.

Me.

The next clip started with me entering the parking lot at our condos. Jillian pulled in just as I was jumping out.

She laid into me—and I laid into her right back.
