“He’d already met me when he sent this.”
“Yes.”
“You thought I knew?”
“For years.”
“I didn’t.”
“You thought I knew?”

Lauren studied my face for a moment.
“I believe you.”
I handed her phone back.
“What you did with that balloon was still wrong.”
“I know.”
“You were angry with Connor, but you put that anger inside something meant for our baby.”
“I believe you.”
“You’re right.”
“I’m filing a complaint.”
She nodded. “I expected you to do that.”

When I stepped outside, Connor was waiting near the car.
I stopped a few feet away.
“I didn’t ask you to come.”
“I’m filing a complaint.”
“The manager called the number on the order. Mine was listed. Can we talk?”
“You told me Lauren knew your relationship was over.”
“It was over for me.”
I stared at him.
“Connor, she asked for a week apart. You met me three days into that week.”
“It was over for me.”

He looked away.
“I knew I was done.”
“But she didn’t.”
He rubbed the back of his neck.
“I wasn’t sleeping with both of you.”
