Phil ran the zipper along the seam of his bag. “So that’s it. The rest of my things I can send for.”

Kennedy rose from the bed with a push of her hands. She walked over to him. He’d avoided looking her in the eye since they agreed to part as friends. Four long hours of tears and honesty between them led them both to the same conclusion. They’d only hurt each other if they didn’t face the reality of their marriage and let go.

“Phil.” She touched the side of his face. “Look at me, please.”

“I can’t Kennedy. I—”

“Look at me,” she said, taking both sides of his face into her hands. “You are a wonderful man. My hero. Your friendship and love saved my life. You made my daughter whole. I will forever love you because of it. Please tell me that you understand?”

“What can I say? It hurts so fucking much. I can’t give up any more of my pride.” He tried to break away.

“Then just say goodbye to me. To us. This is where we say goodbye.”

He drew her into his arms and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss, a final parting between them. It felt different than all other kisses she shared with him in their marriage. There was so much sadness and regret in their exchange. The kiss grew deeper, lasting, then ended. Kennedy dropped her face to his shirt and hugged him. She inhaled his rich cologne, felt the hard strength of his chest and his strong arms closing around her.

But mostly, she was relieved she had found the strength to be honest with him. Baby or no baby, their journey ended here.

“Can I take you to the doctor?” he asked, still holding her.

“No. I’ll go alone.” She released him. “I’ll call you and let you know, okay?”

He grabbed the suitcase and another bag. Kennedy led him out of the bedroom, down the stairs to the front door. She did a peek first to make sure the news vans weren’t back. “Looks like the coast is clear.”

She opened the door. When she turned, she saw Phil staring at the Christmas tree. “We talked about this. Come back tomorrow. You and Mac can decorate it. She looks forward to it.”

“And Liam? Will he now move in?”

“This is your house. I’ll start looking for a place.”

“No. This is Mackenzie’s house. We’ll work it out.” Phil smiled. He looked past her to the open door. She knew this was hard for him. She couldn’t know how hard. If Liam had chosen another over her, Kennedy wouldn’t want to live. She couldn’t compare Phil’s feelings for her to the ones she had for Liam, of course. In her mind they didn’t have that kind of history. But Kennedy had
