Zoey stared at me, clearly bewildered, as if I had just turned down an offer to go with her to the bathroom.

"How could you say that? These two kids are just as much my responsibility as they are yours! I'm asking for one, not just half of one," I said.

Harlan, clearly lost, looked between us. "Wait, what do you mean, your responsibility? What exactly happened here?"

His face drained of color as realization struck. “Hold on... you two didn't...?"

He slapped a hand over his mouth, eyes wide with disbelief. "Does Carter know about this? Chloe, how could you do something like that? No wonder she lost so much weight when you disappeared for a while!"

I could hardly believe what I was hearing from this couple, but all I could do was laugh in exasperation. I jumped to my feet and gave Harlan a playful smack on the head.

"Stop making things up! Janice and I are just sisters, blood sisters! Nothing more!" I scolded.

Harlan dramatically put a hand on his chest. "You really scared me there! I thought she didn't like me because she, well... liked women!"

I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms. This guy had the looks and the physique, but absolutely no sense. "With your brain, it's no wonder she never gave you the time of day."

"Chloe, you two are so close. How about putting in a good word for me? You've got two kids already, but I can't even get a girlfriend."

I gave Zoeyry thumbs-up.

Maybe it was the thrill of chasing something she couldn't actually have-perhaps that was why she was always so fixated on him.

I waved my hand dismissively. "I'm not a matchmaker; what do you want me to do about it?"

Harlan sighed dramatically, looking like he was about to say more, but instead, he followed Zoey, clearly sulking.

Kate had made a special trip from the countryside to visit, bringing along a basket of eggs-chicken and duck-and two adorable tabby kittens.

"These are from our cat," Kate said, her smile wide. "I remember you liked cats when you were little, so I brought these two for you."
