After the chef reassures us the wine is gluten free, and after I clean myself and Tyler as best as I can, I decide it is time to leave. My visit with the baby has been interesting, to say the least. I almost regret accepting Jackson’s offer, but some sinister, vindictive part of me, is so glad my mother was humiliated at her country club.

This place has been her second home, especially after my father died. I’m pretty sure she’s slept with half the male members here, which explains why so many women applauded me when I called her a whore. I’m fairly certain she will find a way to retaliate, but for the moment, it was worth it. It was definitely worth it.

Jackson seems to think his dad will pull some strings and get my mother kicked out of the club once he hears what she did to Tyler. That would be a huge blow to my mother. Where else would she go to backstab her friends and sleep with their husbands?

Jackson insists on walking me to my car, which is annoying. With everyone in the club watching us leave, we really do look like a family. Ty, I wouldn’t mind claiming, but not Jackson.

Still, it gives me one more chance to hold Ty. He fits so perfectly on my hip, giggling as I bounce him next to my car.

Jackson is looking at me like he’s got something to say, which is my cue to get the hell out of there.

“I’ve got to get home,” I say. “Andrés is making dinner.”

“Okay,” he says, flashing a flirtatious grin. “I wish you didn’t have to go so soon.”

Please, not this. “I can’t stay here,” I say tersely. And I’m not ever coming back, I think.

Tyler yawns as he leans into me, and I know it’s getting close to his bedtime. I try to pry him off my hip and hand him to his dad, but his eyes go wide and he clasps my wet shirt in his little hands. I think I hear my heart sigh as I snuggle him tightly to my chest.

“I’ll ask my dad to come up with more restaurants. This is all new to us,” Jackson says as I lean against the door of my car with Ty in my arms.

“I know,” I say as I kiss Ty on the forehead and I attempt one more time to pry him off me. “A little help,” I say to Jackson.

He finally takes the hint and pulls the baby from me. Ty kicks and squeals, “Teeny!” reaching out to me.

Every time he says my name, he chips away a little piece of my heart.

“I have him every other Sunday and sometimes during the week,” Jackson says as he juggles the squirming baby in his arms, “so if you want to see him again.”

“I do, but I don’t know.” I open my car door and throw my purse inside.

“Teeny!” Tyler screams again while pounding Jackson.

“You should have been his mother.
