"You need to go."
He stood up reluctantly. "Listen, I promise I won’t come back here unless you ask me to. But be careful. I really don’t trust him."
"Shane, he hasn’t even really tried to talk to me since you left, let alone make any moves on me. You’re worried about nothing."
He took her hand. "You’re wrong, Kainie. I know that I didn’t cheat on you and he was the one who set me up. I know you don’t believe me, but just be careful, ok?"
She nodded, walking with him to the door. He turned and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you, Kaine."
She closed her eyes and hugged him back. "I love you too," she said quietly. She wanted to tell him not to go. That she loved him and forgave him. She wanted him to take her upstairs and have insane make up sex. Then she remembered Jessica telling her that she was pregnant, and she stiffened. "I’ll see you tomorrow when I drop Adam off," she said. "Goodnight."
"Night, babe," he said. She shut and locked the door after him, resting her head on the door. "God damn it," she muttered. She dumped the rest of her wine and headed upstairs to bed.

"You ready to go to daddy’s?" Kaine asked. Adam shook his head. "I want daddy to come here."
Kaine smiled sympathetically at him. "I know, baby. But daddy doesn’t live here anymore, remember?" She strapped Adam in the car seat when her phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hi pumpkin."
"Hi, dad," she smiled. "What's up?"
"Are you coming to our Memorial Day party tomorrow? I haven't heard from you."
She bit her lip. "Is Shane going to be there?"
"Of course he is. Why wouldn't he be?"
She sighed. "I don’t know. It's just hard to see him."
"Well honey, I told you that something like this might happen when you two got together. You have to be able to get along with him for Adam's sake."
"I know. You're right. I'll be there. Who else is coming?"
"Too many people to count."
Great.
"Can you do me a favor and tell everyone that Shane and I are divorced but don't want to talk about it? I can't spend the entire time explaining what happened."
"Of course, honey. The only one you'll have to worry about is your aunt Teri, and I'll have a talk with her beforehand. Don't worry about it."
"Thanks, dad. I love you."
"Love you too, pumpkin. See you tomorrow."
Kaine hung up the phone. "Dammit," she muttered. She had been doing a good job in keeping her interactions with Shane as minimal as possible. Spending an entire day with him was going to be hell. She drove to Bryce's condo, trying to calm her nerves. This was the worst part of her week. She hated being forced to interact with Shane, even for a few minutes. She was still mad at him from when she had caught him spying on her last week, and wasn’t looking forward to seeing him. Looking into his eyes was a reminder of how horribly he had hurt her, and the fact that he still wouldn’t admit it was infuriating.
She pulled into the driveway, her heart pounding. "Come on, sweetie," she said as she unstrapped Adam. He sprinted toward the door as Kaine grabbed his bag and followed slowly behind. She heard Shane’s voice before she saw him. "Hey, buddy. Look how big you got!" She sighed and headed inside. Might as well get it over with. "Hey," she said quietly to Shane.
"Hi," he said, staring at her.
She avoided his gaze. "Is Bryce here?"
"He's in the living room. Listen, Kaine..."
"Thanks," she said, brushing by him. She walked quickly to the living room. "Hi, Bryce."
He stood up and kissed her cheek. "Hi Kaine. How's it going?"
She smiled. "I'm hanging in there. Listen, I wanted to thank you for letting Adam come here for the weekends. I know it's not your ideal situation."
"Please, it's no problem. I love that little guy."
"How's Shane doing?" She asked quietly.
He shrugged. "Not great, honestly. He's devastated. I've never seen him like this. He just works and spends most of his free time at the gym."
Kaine's heart sank. "You don't think he's using
