Watching her rage on my behalf like that.
My nose stung.
All these years, having someone like her by my side. That was enough.
"Okay, Thea, enough with the depressing stuff."
"I have good news for you."
Althea blinked. "Good news?"
I smiled and placed her hand on my lower belly. "You're going to be a godmother."
Her eyes went wide. "You're keeping Lewis's baby? Letitia, have you lost your mind? He cheated on you!"
I knew she'd react like that.
"It's not his."
"What?" Her voice shot up an octave.
Every head in the restaurant turned our way.
I grabbed her arm. "Keep it down."
Althea looked dazed, like she'd been hit by one bombshell after another and her brain was still trying to catch up.
"You better start talking. Now."
I nodded. "Remember Frederick Pruitt from high school? The genius?"
"Of course I remember. Same last name as me, completely different brain."
I let a small smile curl my lips, about to say It's his—
When a low voice came from beside us. "Letitia, what are you doing here?"
I turned my head. Lewis was walking out of a private dining room with a young, pretty girl on his arm.
"You son of a bitch! I was just looking for you!"
