And then you’ll be heading straight from the rink to Scott’s place to confess before he finds out?
Setting my phone down, I manage to raise a couple of burps from Blake, and a few short minutes later, she’s resting peacefully against my chest.
Me
I need to talk to Billie first. Everything kind of came to a head yesterday, and she crashed out in bed.
Archer
Jesus, you’re in way over your head.
Me
…
Archer
Let’s look at the evidence, shall we? Sleeping with the off-limits girl after you vowed to stay away, and now you’re feeding her baby in the dead of night while she sleeps peacefully. No doubt recovering from the initial months of motherhood, along with the effects of your dick. Tell me that you used protection because with the way you’ve been pining, she’s now likely expecting triplets.
Me
I’m rescinding on our earlier deal. Tell me why you’re in my part of town.
Archer
Don’t deflect.
Me
Likewise.
Archer
I needed to run an errand.
Me
Not good enough. And now I’m suspicious.
Archer
I’m on my way back from Jon and Felicity’s place. I had some paperwork to sign.
Me
Archer, you’re starting to freak me out.
Archer
Darcy doesn’t know yet, and I need you to keep it that way.
Me
Looks like we both have secrets we need to guard.
Archer
