What could he possibly have to do with a girl Sophie had only just brought into our lives?
“I promised Mia I wouldn’t involve her.”
“What does your father have to do with Mia?”
Sophie swallowed. “I can’t tell you that. Not yet.”
“Then who can?”
“Laura.”
I hadn’t heard that name in twenty years.
The baby wasn’t the real secret anymore.
Whatever Sophie had uncovered about her father, it had led her straight back to the woman I’d spent twenty years trying to forget.
“Is Mia her daughter?”
Sophie looked away.
“Where does Laura live?”
“I promised Mia I wouldn’t involve her.”
“Sophie.”
We moved to another city and started over.
The baby wasn’t the real secret anymore.
Sophie closed her eyes.
Then she gave me the address. It was in the city where Daniel and I had lived at the start of our marriage.
It was in the city I had been trying to forget for years.
