Then she left.
By the time Mara left, I was convinced Jack had a son.
I wouldn’t tell you who Ethan was.

The next morning, I opened Jack’s laptop.
He had changed the password.
After twenty minutes, I tried the date we met.
It opened.
“Seriously, Jack?”
I was convinced Jack had a son.
Lucy looked up. “Is Daddy in the computer?”
My throat closed. “No, sweetheart. Mommy’s just looking for something.”
One name kept appearing on Jack’s laptop.
Ethan C.
“Who are you?”
I tried the date we met.
“Mommy?”
“Nothing, baby.”
I found legal fees, childcare expenses, and ETHAN TRUST.
“You had a trust for him?”
“Is that Daddy’s computer?”
Ethan C.
“Yes.”
“Are you mad at Daddy?”
“I don’t know yet.”
Then I found the insurance documents.
He had protected money for Lucy, the baby, and me.
ETHAN TRUST.
“Are you still mad?”
