High Heat (Hard Hitters #1) (22 page)

“I know, I know. I also know a child needs a dad. I grew up without one, remember?”

The reminder stopped Willow from answering. Kendra’s father had gone to jail for armed robbery when she was three. He’d been stabbed in a prison fight three years into his sentence and never come home. It still haunted her friend.

“I’ll think about telling him after the project is over, Kendra. Not until then. Don’t push me.”

“It’s not only me who’ll be pushing you if you don’t tell him. Someday, Jack’s going to have questions. Better make sure you have good answers for him when the time comes.”
