Ethan’s cell phone signaled he’d received a text. He picked it up and found himself making a silly smirk. Rayn had texted him. He felt like a damn high school boy who’d just received a note from his crush, accepting his invitation to the dance. He texted her back immediately and set his phone to the side.

He couldn’t concentrate on work, and stared at the computer screen. The numbers blurred as thoughts of Rayn and their son consumed him. His office phone rang, and he picked it up. “Hello.”

“Are we still on for lunch?”

Damn, he forgot he’d made plans with Jenny. “Yes.” He glanced at his wristwatch. “Can we meet in about an hour?” The phone went silent.

“I’m already here.” Jenny stood at his office doorway with a couple of brown bags in her hand. “You’ve been so busy lately, I thought I would bring lunch to you.” She walked in and set the bags on his desk, then came around the side and planted a kiss on his lips.

Jenny tried to deepen the kiss, but Ethan eased back. “The door is open.”

“What’s going on with you? You never cared who watched before.” She stepped back from him and placed her hands in the front pockets of her scrubs.

“Jen, I’m at work.” Ethan began tapping his keyboard.

“Ethan, stop beating around the bush.” Jenny glared at him. “I haven’t heard from you in days. What the hell is going on?”

He sat up straight. “You remember the woman Elena mentioned?”

“What about her?” Her attitude was evident in the harsh way she replied.

“She didn’t come to Oklahoma alone.” He watched her closely.

“What do you mean?”

“She brought my son with her.”

Her eyebrows connected. “You have a kid?” Her voice softened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Ethan stood, and closed the door to his office. “I didn’t know I had a son. I found out a few days ago. I’m still processing the idea that I’m someone’s father.”

“You found out a few days ago, and you didn’t think to tell me?” She leaned against his desk.

He didn’t have any excuse why he hadn’t told Jenny. Ethan had to admit he didn’t want his worlds to cross paths. His past was colliding with his present, which in many ways meant it was all crashing into his future.

“Why would she keep him away from you?”

“She has her reasons.” He was pissed at the whole situation. At times he was happy and the next minute he was angry all over again.

“Maybe she didn’t know if he was really yours.”

Ethan stared out the window, thinking of his son. He smiled internally at the way his son responded to his silly jokes. The kid had stolen his heart and he’d only known him for a little more than two weeks. “There’s no doubt. He is mine.”

“Tell me what you’re thinking.” Jenny touched his shoulder. “Does this change things with us?”

He honestly didn’t have an answer. Ethan turned to face Jenny. “I don’t want to string you along. I’m fucked up in the head right now.
