I was a terrible liar, and it didn’t come easy to me.

I was going to have to be a little less transparent and act like nothing he asked bothered me.

My parents had always told me that they could tell when I wasn’t being honest with them, and they were probably right.

Maybe I’d stop worrying abouthisquestions and start asking a few of my own.

Devon Remington was a mystery to me, and I was a woman who liked to solve puzzles.

If I kept him busy answering my questions, he might not have as much time to start firing off his own.

Hannah looked at her watch and rose from her chair. “I’d better get home. If his girls aren’t home before he gets home from work, Tanner starts losing his mind.”

I laughed. Hannah was having a girl, and Tanner was already calling them his girls, even though the little girl hadn’t been born yet.

“Go,” I encouraged, knowing how anxious Tanner was about Hannah’s first pregnancy. “I’ll lock up.”

I watched as Hannah gathered her things and prepared to leave.

She and Tanner had experienced an exceedingly long journey to happiness, but she was glowing now.

It was obvious that Tanner and Hannah belonged together, even though it had taken them a long time to figure that out themselves.

Her pregnancy had gone smoothly so far, and she and Tanner were over the moon about becoming parents.

Hannah donned her jacket and lifted her hand to wave as she exited the office.

I sighed as I shut down my computer.

I’d always wanted to experience everything Hannah had now.

A husband who loved me…

Making a life with a partner who accepted me exactly as I was…

Having a healthy child…

But since my life had spun out of control a year ago, none of those things even felt like a remote possibility for me anymore.

Iparked my truck in front of Glam Anywhere and glanced at my watch.

It was just after five, but I wanted to check on my pregnant sister-in-law because Tanner was going to be a little later than usual coming home today. He had a meeting that was running late with one of his companies, and he was still in the offices of Remington in Billings.

I didn’t see Hannah’s vehicle, and in a town this small, it wasn’t like she had to find a parking spot far away from her office.

I could turn around and go home, figuring she had already left for the day.

However, I did see Reese’s car, so I got my ass out of my truck.

Oh hell, who was I kidding?

I wasn’t here tojustcheck on Hannah.

Tanner hadn’t asked me to stop by her office. He was going to call his wife as soon as the meeting ended to let her know he was headed home.

I just liked to tell myself that I was passing by to see how Hannah was doing.
