Movement catches out of the corner of my eye, and we both turn to find Colton and Chase in the hallway They’re standing in front of the , chatting and watching us Colton’s eyes drop to his son and then back to my face, the softest smile on his full lips

I glance over at Gabby, who’s s like the cat that ate the canary “Thank you for the offer,” I tell her, “but I’d never expect you to keep anything from Chase I wouldn’t want to put you in any position that you can’t talk to him”

“Well, if it involves Colt or his fa, I’d probably have to tell Chase, but if it’s good, you know… like he gave you four Os last night and you’re still not walking right, well, that would totally be between us girls” Then she giggles

I giggle
