position, to make sure she wasn’t facing him. “Tommy.”
“How have you been? It’s been a long time since I last seen you. I want to really apologize for what happened between us. You didn’t deserve what I did to you.”
Kay heard the sincerity in his voice.
“That’s in the past,” Kay said, feeling very uncomfortable. Angel moved her head an d looked at Tommy.
He stared at Angel. “What’s your name, beautiful?”
“Angel.” She smiled back at him.
“Hi, Angel. My name is Tommy.” He looked down and saw Kay’s baby bump. “You’re pregnant?”
She could see he wanted to ask her something , but when he was about to, the lady came over with the little boy.
“Hi, I’m Connie, Thomas’s wife.” She extended her hand to shake Kay’s.
Kay accepted the gesture. “I’m Kay Anderson.”
“She’s an old friend . I haven’t seen her in a long time. I was just saying hello,” Tommy said, not taking his eyes off Angel.
“It was nice to meet you, but we really have to go.”
“It was nice to seeing you again.”
Kay turned and walked away. She bent down and put Angel on the floor. She grabbed her hand and walked to the parking garage.
Kay unlocked her car door and put Angel in her booster seat. She turned on the car and just sat there. A tear ran down her cheeks as she remembered everything she’d gone through because of him, from his rejection of Angel and her, to him beating her, but then she smil ed as she thought of Jason. She was so thankful to have him in her life. That man is everything I’ve ever wanted and more . Shaking off her memories, she drove off, heading home.

Before Jason could put the key in the doorknob, Kay opened the door and kissed him. Jason smiled at her.
“Welcome home to me. I wish you greeted me like this every day, doll eyes.” He leaned into her and kissed her on the cheek. “What’s up?”
She closed and locked the door. “I’m just grateful for having a wonderful husband. Dinner is ready.” She walked down the hallway and called Angel.
Before they began to eat, Jason said the prayer.
“How was your day at work, sweetie?” Kay asked.
“It was okay. I was in court most of the day. How was your day off with Angel?”
“It was great , we even went to the movies, then shopping,” she said staring at him.
“I met mommy’s friend Mr. Tommy,” Angel blurted out.
Jason had been about to swallow some of his drink. Almost choking, he turned to look at Kay. “Who did you meet?”
“Mr. Tommy. He was a nice man. He said I was beautiful,” Angel said with a smile.
“Kay what the f….” Looking at Angel , h e thought about what he was about to say . “What is Angel talking about?”
“Jason, let’s talk about that later, please . ”
Jason didn’t speak again during the rest of dinner. Angel talked about the movie they saw and her new toy. All Jason did was nod his head.

By the way Jason washed the dishes, Kay could tell he was angry. She walked over to him, came up from behind him and kissed his back, she thought he was going to move but he didn’t, he turned around and asked.
“I promised you I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. What happened, Kay?”
“We were at the mall, that’s when Tommy stopped me. He was there with his wife, and he introduced himself to Angel. He apologized for what he did to me, and said he’d changed.”
“Why did you speak to him?” he asked with sadness in his eyes.
She cupped his face. “Baby, if I would’ve run, he would’ve thought something was up. This way it just seemed normal.” She took his hands and led him to the counter. “He knows she’s his.”
“ What? Did you tell him?” He pulled his hands away from hers.
“How could you think I would ever do that? I would never break our happy home. She resembles him, Jason, she looks just like his son. It hurts me that you would think the worst of me.”
He looked away from her. “This has been my nightmare,
