came around the corner.
    He looked like hell. Like he hadn’t been sleeping.
    “Hey, I thought you would be at work.” I hugged him.
    “I’m on my way out now. Hope’s upstairs with the baby. See you later.” He kissed me on the cheek and left through the garage.
    I walked through the living room to the stairs and noticed the bed made up on the couch. This left me with a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
    Hope was upstairs in the baby’s room, sitting on the floor in the dark with her back against the dresser. Grayson was asleep in his crib.
    “Hey,” I said gently.
    She turned and looked at me but didn’t say a word.
    “What’s going on? Why are you in the dark?”
    “John,” she whispered and started to cry.
    I sank down to my knees next to her and cradled her in my arms. “What happened?”
    “He told me today that he had an affair.” The words were choked out with her sobs.
    “Oh my God.” My free hand flew to my mouth. I couldn’t believe it, not John, not our John. He loved my sister so much, I couldn’t imagine a scenario where he would cheat.
    “He says it’s been over for a long time, and he had to tell me because it’s been eating him up inside.”
    “I’m so sorry. I wish I could say something more, something better. But I’m at a total loss with this.”
    She shook her head. “I knew something was up. The past few months he’s been weird. Like he can’t be around me. Now I know why.”
    “When did this all happen?”
    “When I was pregnant with Gray. About two months after I was put on full bed rest in the hospital. He said it just happened, he didn’t mean for it to, but he was so lonely.”
    “Bullshit. It never just happens.” I was so angry.
    “It was a woman from work, of course. And it went on for a month before he says he came to his senses.” She looked so sad.
    “I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. So, you’re telling me that while you were lying in a hospital bed trying not to miscarry your child, he was out screwing some other chick?” I wanted to throw up.
    “He says it didn’t mean anything. But how can I ever believe him again?”
    “What are you going to do? I just saw him when I got here. Is he still going to live here?”
    “How can I ever trust him again? How can I look him in the eye and trust him with my heart, with my life?” Hope sobbed
    I didn’t have the answers she needed. I was still looking for my own with Logan. Hope and John were my canary in the coal mine. They were my example. I needed them to be solid, I needed it so I could believe that Logan and I could make it eventually.
    “What are you going to do?”
    “I told him he needs to find somewhere else to stay for a while. I can’t look at him. I feel physically sick when I think about it. Him with another woman, touching her, kissing her. It makes me want to vomit. The worst part is that I probably know her. I’ve probably seen her a billion times and let her hold Gray and coo over him. I’ve always been friendly with the women that work at the station.”
    “This is shit,” I sighed.
    “It really is. I feel so lost.”
    “When did he tell you?”
    “Just before he left for work. He’s been so weird lately, not even sleeping in the bed with me because he says he’s too restless and doesn’t want to keep me up. Now I know it was his guilty conscience.”
    “God, I’m so sorry. I know I said it already, but I really am. I hate that you’re hurting, and I can’t help you.”
    “Fuck men. You’re better off single. I know I’m supposed to be on team Logan now, but fuck him and fuck John. We can be single together and you can move in and we can raise Grayson together.”
    “Hold up a second, what do you mean you’re supposed to be on team Logan?”
    “The day after you got home, Faith arranged a breakfast with me, her, him, and mom. We all agreed that we would help him win you back. But now…now I don’t know if that’s the best thing for you. What if
