“She’s beautiful,” Jack said, when Eve came downstairs again.

“You were amazing with her.” She sat on the other end of the sofa from him, curling her feet under her. “She’s usually so shy with men.”

“Her father must be a redhead, huh?”

She nodded without hesitation, used to the deceit. In her mind, Cory’s father looked exactly like Tim with red hair.

“Is he very involved with her?” he asked.

She shook her head. “He was killed in a motorcycle accident when Cory was a baby.” This was the lie she’d told Lorraine and the women at the park and anyone else who inquired. It was the lie she would one day tell Cory. She’d decided it was best to get Cory’s mythical father completely out of the picture.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Jack said.

“I didn’t even put his name on the birth certificate because I didn’t want him to be involved with her. He wasn’t the sort of guy I thought he was.” She ran her hand over the floral fabric on the sofa. “He turned out to be a criminal.”

“Drugs?” he asked.

“Among other things,” she offered vaguely.

“It’s hard for me to imagine you with a guy like that,” Jack said.
