an eyebrow.
“I understand.”
His shoulders relaxed.
“I really do.”
Then I smiled.
“But there’s one thing you forgot.”
“What?”
“One very important detail.”
I pointed beside him.
“Look to your right.”
Ryan turned.
The smug expression vanished instantly.
His father, Gerald, stood several feet away holding the diaper bag.
“Dad.”
Gerald’s face was dark with anger.
He pointed at the woman.
“You.”
She looked startled.
“Leave.”
She didn’t need telling twice.
She rolled her pink suitcase away.
For a moment, I felt vindicated.
Ryan might dismiss me.
But Gerald?Ryan respected his father.
Maybe now someone would finally tell him what he had done was disgusting.
Gerald stepped closer.
“Are you out of your mind?”
Ryan looked at the floor.
“Dad—”
“You walk off the ship with another woman in front of your wife?”
Ryan rubbed the back of his neck.
“And then tell Claire to her face that you’ve had multiple affairs?”
