Chapter 48

• — George Collins —
• I’ve always been the kind of man who sees opportunities where others see problems. It’s a talent, a skill I’ve honed over the years. So when the doctor called me about Claire’s pregnancy, it felt like the universe was giving me a second chance. The poor guy didn’t even know we had broken up. He thought I was still Claire’s fiancé, as if everything was normal. I went straight to the hospital, pretending I was there to see my "fiancée." But I didn’t need to go into her room. That information was all I needed.
• She was pregnant. And even knowing the baby wasn’t mine, since Claire and I hadn’t touched each other in months before that "accidental" night, it didn’t bother me. On the contrary. This baby could be my key to bringing Claire back to me.
