Gavin's POV

"Are you seriously avoiding her?" Taylor asked, folding his arms across his chest. "It's been almost 2 weeks since you found out about Rachel's pregnancy, and you haven't talked to Judy yet?"

I ran my fingers through my hair, my frustration levels growing with each passing second. It's been a hell of a two weeks, too. I had barely slept, and I've only eaten scraps, my appetite was shit. My thoughts were overwhelming me, and my investigation work had been exhausting.

If Rachel truly was playing a con like I suspected, she was good at her job. Every security footage, every scrap of fucking evidence... everything ounce of proof I could possibly get my hands on, it's all been void and deleted. She's good at covering her prints, I will give her that.

"I can't face her until I know the truth," I said, feeling a headache forming at my temple. The thought of Judy made my heart ache.

I couldn't be the reason for her heart to break... not again.

Rachel has been trying to cling to me, and though I've been entertaining her to keep her close and unaware, her touch disgusts me.
