appointments, quarrel over baby names before compromising over the best ways to prepare to bring their child into the world? No, that can’t be. What’s wrong with you? Why was he always in her thoughts these days?
    â€œThank goodness,” Paul said with a relived sigh. “I figured it had to be something. I just knew she shouldn’t be that big already.”
    â€œReally, Paul... Really?”
    â€œWhat?”
    Farrah shook her head, welcoming their banter to distract her from thoughts of her soon-to-be ex-that-no-one-knew.
    Paul gave a dismissive wave and sat back down. “Francine’s body changing that much because she’s having twins is one thing. Gaining weight for no reason other than she decided to let herself go is something else.” Paul picked up his cup and took several sips.
    â€œYou act like she’s as big as a house or something.” Farrah turned her attention back to her computer, but couldn’t help grinning at the mental image of her sister’s rounded belly and the smile and happiness that seemed to accompany Francine everywhere she went these days.
    Paul took a swig of his coffee. “Girl, Francine’s four months and she looks like she’s six or seven.”
    â€œShe’s five months and she’s the perfect weight for an expectant mother of twins,” she corrected, choosing not to look directly into Paul’s face.
    Paul tilted his head slightly. “What’s wrong? Why do you seem a little...off?” he asked, frowning as he returned the cup to its former place.
    Farrah’s hand automatically flew to her mouth as though her lips could tell the story all by themselves. Damn, you act like somebody’s parent. You notice everything, even the slightest change.
    â€œDid you and Robert have a quickie before coming in today?” he asked, grinning and wiggling his eyebrows in a manner that sent a shiver of unease up her spine.
    Farrah got up and went to close her door completely. “Keep your voice down. And no, we didn’t just have a quickie.”
    Farrah returned to her desk and looked fiercely back at Paul, who was eyeing her suspiciously.
    â€œWhat?” she asked holding out her hands and hunching her shoulders.
    â€œYou tell me,” he said in a serious tone she wasn’t used to hearing from him. Paul had once been very serious...too serious. He’d spent years fighting and hiding who he really was and he’d nearly lost himself in the process. Paul’s relationship with the Blake sisters and their family, as well as finding love and marrying his partner John in a lavish ceremony hosted by his new sisters, had kept Paul’s love for life alive and his heart light.
    Farrah looked down at her bare left hand and slowly shook her head.
    They both sat in silence for several minutes before Paul reminded Farrah of something that she already knew. “Everyone needs a go-to person to confide in, and I know that’s your sisters, but for some reason you’ve chosen to share this secret with me—”
    Farrah looked up. “You know you’re like a brother to us,” she affirmed emphatically.
    â€œThen talk to your brother. What’s wrong, Big Sis?” he asked, leaning forward, taking both her hands into his.
    Farrah closed her eyes, took a deep breath and released it slowly. She slowly opened her eyes and said, “Robert kissed me after we left the doctor’s office.”
    â€œSo?” Paul said, with a bewildered expression.
    â€œSo!” Farrah said, pulling her hands free. “Have you not been listening to me all those times we’ve discussed this? Paul, the man’s kisses are earth-shattering. If we hadn’t been interrupted, I would have let him take me right there in the elevator...again.”
    Paul grinned. “Earth-shattering!” A small laugh escaped before he clamped a hand over his mouth.
    Farrah glared at him. Paul often
