Shane had no intentions of keeping it a secret from her, so he eased up on his frown as he answered, “Yeah.”

Jacqueline felt her heart ache when she saw the gentle look in his eyes but was able to keep her raging jealousy hidden from him. Instead, she acted like she was happy for him as she said, “That’s great, Shane! Congratulations on becoming a father!”
