My teeth grind together; my hands clench into fists as I stare at the couple in the photograph.
He’s got his grubby hand around her waist, and she’s leaning against him like...like she loves him.
No way.
“I’ve got extra pillows if you need them…” Lorena chirps from behind me, her voice fading when I turn to glare at her. “Is everything okay?”
Her eyes flicker to the photograph beside me, and she frowns.
“Everything is fine.”
It wasn’t like I’d expected Sierra to wait for me.
I’ve fucked more girls than I care to think about, so I guess it’s obvious Sierra would be with someone else.
Five years.
Lorena nods, backing out of the room.
“We’re ordering in tonight. I’ll grab you a menu.”
I can’t even respond; I’m so fucking pissed.
When Kai sticks his head into the room moments later, I’m contemplating throwing the fucking photo against the wall.
“I’ve asked everyone to come over tonight; I hope that’s okay?”
“Who’s everyone?” I demand, unable to keep the malice from my voice.
I already know what he will say, but his expression falls, and I rein in my fury.
This isn’t about Sierra or me.
“Mom, Dad, Sierra, Declan, and little Philip.”
My heart drops to my fucking stomach. Has Sierra had a kid?With him?
“Who?” I whisper, raising an eyebrow at Kai.
“Oh, Mom and Dad got a new dog. He’s a little shit, but he’s cute as fuck, so I can tolerate him.”
Thank fuck for that.
“I thought you meant Sierra had a kid or something.”
Kai snorts. “Not yet.”
“So,Declan?” I clear my throat, unpacking my stuff so Kai can’t see the desperation in my eyes.
Kai rubs the back of his neck with a grimace.
“Yeah, who’d have thought it.”
“You hated him the last time I checked.”
Kai hums.
“Not too much has changed, but I can’t tell her who to love.”
