“Faye,” I say, managing a small smile.

“I have to drive your car home,” he says. “You owe me,

Faye.” Another grin, and then he’s off.

Dex sends Rake a look I can’t decipher, then turns to me.

“You okay?” he asks, scanning my face. His expression softens

as he looks over me.

“Yeah. Thanks for asking,” I tell him, clearing my throat.

He grunts in reply, closing the door and heading to the other

side. When he pulls out of the parking lot, he turns to me.

“You know, I thought you were one of the good ones. I

never thought you would do something like this, trying to

keep me in the dark about my own kid.”

With that parting shot, which I feel deep in my bones, he

drives me back home.

Back to the place I’m trying to escape.

Back to where my child will have no future.
