talking until you rudely cut her off.”
    Kelly looked defeated. “Seriously? That’s mean, T. I wouldn’t do that you.”
    Tanya and I looked at each other and then burst out laughing.
    “What’s so funny?” Kelly glanced between the both of us, as she continued chugging her beer.
    “Nothing, girl. Not a damn thing.”
    Rachel walked over with our food, setting the tray on the table behind us. Dividing up each order, she placed our plates in front of us, and asked if we needed anything else. The three of us had declined before she walked away, moving on to the next group of people two booths down.
     “You’re shitty, you know that?”
    Tanya picked up a fry and held it between her teeth, laughing in Kelly’s face. The girl was ruthless. I had to remind myself not to get on her bad side in the future.
    As we dug into our meal, Tanya filled Kelly in on everything Stone retrieved about my birth family.
    “Oh, my God! I didn’t realize he found out all of that,” Kelly said in shock, and then looked at me. “What are you going to do?”
    I wished everyone would stop asking me that. I knew they were concerned, but I hadn’t had time to process anything. All of the information Stone shared earlier was still too fresh in my mind. Don’t get me wrong, I was grateful for their concern. I was, I just needed to go over everything with my husband first. Brax was my rock, my support no matter what. And whatever he thought I should do, then I would do it. I was just unsure how I should approach the Lander’s. I had way too many bad thoughts playing out in my mind.
    “B’s with the guys right now, talking about my next step,” I replied. “I’ll talk to him tonight and see what he thinks first.”
    “Well, you know, if you need us to go with you, we’re there,” Tanya promised. “You’re not alone, girl.”
    We finished our lunch and talked some more before I left the girls and headed home. I gave them both a hug, thanking them for being here for me and then paid my part of the tab. I sent Brax a text, letting him know I was on my way home, and headed out the door.
    I didn’t know what tomorrow had in store for me, but I was going to get through it. I had to, no matter what my mind continued to say.

    “How long ‘til we get there? You know I hate surprises,” Jazz complained from the front seat. I knew that once she saw what we were doing she would be happy.
    “Give me five more minutes, baby. We’ll be there soon.” I winked hoping it would be enough to calm her down.
    For some time, Jazz had talked about getting a tattoo. We agreed on something that would symbolize our love for one another, something that would hold meaning.
    After work, I met with Jay, the tattoo artist at Wingman’s Tattoo, and I was finally able to get mine done. I knew if I waited until Jazz picked out the sketch she wanted, we would run out of time. So I went ahead and scheduled an appointment for her tonight at seven. Kelly relieved Ma from watching Savanah, agreeing to keep an eye on her until we got back. Of course, I had to fill her in on my little secret. The girl was a pushover. Nothing got past her, no matter how slick I tried to be.
    As we entered Millsboro, I pulled into the shopping center and shut off the engine. Jazz looked around, unsure why we were parked in a dark alley.
    “Ummm…what’s going on?” she asked nervously.
    You could tell she was having another one of her freak-out moments. My girl. Always skeptical, trying something new. I got out of the truck and ran around to her door. I pulled on the handle, opened the door, and then reached for my wife’s hand.
    “Come on. We’re going to be late,” I said as I walked her through the parking lot.
    Jazz was wearing her favorite dark skinny jeans and one of those short sweater things that made the ‘ V ’ around her breasts look hot. She had two-inch fuck-me heels which made it hard for her to keep up.
    Her brown hair
