he hurts you like this? What if the secrets he keeps are something like this or worse? Can you live with not knowing?”
    My heart lurched. What if she was right? What if his secrets were worse than this? “I’m not going to address that right now, honey. We need to figure your situation out more than mine at the moment.”
    “I can’t stay here tonight, with all of his things hanging in the closet, and his smell all over the pillows.”
    “You’ll come and stay with me and Faith for a day or so until you figure out what you want to do.”
    “I’m sure Faith will love that.” She snorted derisively.
    “Hey, give her some credit. She loves you and Gray, and she will literally want to chop off John’s balls when she finds out about this. I know our place tends to be party central because of her lifestyle, but she can tone it down for a few days for your sake.”
    She nodded, and I helped her off the floor. After we packed enough clothes for them for a few days, I got Grayson into the car and opened the door for her.
    “God, we were so fucking happy. Now it’s all smashed to hell.”
    On the drive into the city, I called Faith to give her a heads up.
    “Hey, it’s me.”
    “It’s not a good time, let me call you back.” I heard a man’s voice and her smothered giggle.
    “No, now. Listen the fuck up.”
    “Geez, what has your panties in a bunch. Okay, what is it?”
    “Hope’s staying with us for a bit. John told her today that he had an affair when she was pregnant with Grayson.”
    “Shit.” She sucked in a breath.
    “Yeah. She’s in rough shape. She’ll need us both.”
    “I’m on my way.” She hung up.
    I called Logan next to cancel our plans for the night.
    “Hey beautiful.” His sexy voice filled my car.
    “I need to cancel for tonight.”
    “What? Why?” He sounded disappointed.
    “Something came up with Hope. I need to be with her for a few days. I’ll call you when I can okay?” I went to hang up, but he stopped me.
    “Wait, what’s going on? Is she okay? The baby?” His voice full of concern. It melted my icy heart.
    “She’s not okay. Not even close to being okay. John had an affair when she was pregnant with Gray. She was in the fucking hospital trying her hardest to not lose her unborn son, and he was out there sticking his dick into some other woman.” Tears I had been holding in began to fall. My heart hurt. John had betrayed us all with this. He was my brother, the one who always looked out for me, protected me.
    “Oh God. Where are you now?” I heard the scrape of his chair pushing away from the desk.
    “In the car on my way back to the apartment. Hope’s just in front of me.
    “How soon until you get home?”
    “I don’t know, maybe twenty minutes, depending on traffic. Why?”
    “Drive safe, Kitten. I’ll call you later okay?”
    Damn him for hanging up without telling me anything. I cried the rest of the way home. Letting myself feel all the hurt that poured out of my heart. I needed to be strong for Hope, she didn’t need me falling apart, too.
    Logan was standing on the sidewalk in front of my building when we pulled up. He didn’t say a word, just took me in his arms and hugged me tight. His lips were soft and tender as they pressed against mine. He searched my face to be sure I was okay before going to Hope’s car.
    She sat motionless with her hands on the wheel, tears streaming down her cheeks. Logan opened her door and unhooked her seatbelt. He helped her out of the car and enfolded her in his arms.
    “I’m so sorry,” he whispered, never letting her go.  He held her until her sobs subsided and passed her over to my waiting arms.
    Without being asked, he got Grayson’s seat out and all of the bags and helped us up to the apartment. I was grateful. Sometimes the best kind of help is the kind you don’t ever have to ask for. He came. He was here for us when we needed him, when I needed him. Maybe his secrets didn’t matter. If this was who he
