CHAPTER TWELVE

Hot, seething anger pumped through Bridget’s veins. She should have expected this. Should have known this would happen. She’d put her trust in Joey too many times, only to have him completely fail her. She’d trusted that he’d love her when he said he did. She trusted that he’d be by her side when she decided to have the baby. He told her he’d get a job and then find an apartment for them. That they’d be a happy family. None of it had happened. None of it.

Instead, he’d shacked up for a while with someone else— Caprice. Thankfully, that had been short-lived. But he still continued to make excuses why he hadn’t come around after Phoenix’s birth. That’s why she’d been so surprised when she’d called and he’d agreed to help her. She’d thought he’d changed . . . obviously not!

Bridget trampled into the restaurant area, weaving around small tables, and looking for Joey. She finally found him at a table near the back. He was dressed in a shirt and tie. Of all things! And with him was a blonde. Beautiful wasn’t a good enough description. She was gorgeous, well-dressed, and put together. Both jealousy and fury fought for a rightful place within Bridget.

Unable to tame her emotions, Bridget stormed up to the table. The click of heels on the tile floor told her that Ally was right behind her. She knew the other women wouldn’t follow. They didn’t know her. They didn’t care.

She reached the table and paused, jutting out her chin. “JOEY!” Bridget stretched forward, leaning on the chair for emphasis.

Joey jumped to his feet, startled, as if he’d just seen a ghost. “Bridget?!?”

Then he looked past her to Ally, who’d sidled up beside her. “Seriously?” he asked Allyson.

Bridget fumed even more. As if he had any right to accuse her sister-in-law.

“Where’s Phoenix?” her voice bellowed, and her heartbeat pounded in her temples. It took all her restraint not to pound him. “I leave Phoenix with you for one night and—” She gripped the back of chair tighter.

Joey tried to appear calm. “He’s . . . fine. Someone is watching him.”

She hated when Joey did that. The sky would be falling, and Joey always tried to play it cool. Bridget glanced down at the table and noticed they weren’t eating dinner, but dessert. Joey had often taken her out for dessert. She at first thought it was romantic until she realized he was just being cheap and didn’t want to pay for a whole meal.

“So you can take some tramp for chocolate cake?” Bridget’s voice rose. “Oh that’s great.” She reached over and shook the woman’s hand. The woman’s skin was perfect. Her nails were manicured. The woman cast Bridget a sympathetic look, which just made her madder. “Hi, I’m Bridget.”

Bridget turned back to Joey. “So, where is he?”

“This is not what it looks like,” Joey told the blonde.

“So who has him?” Bridget urged, louder.

Joey pursed his lips together. He looked down at the table. Worry filled his face.
