She tried to find the best way to say it. Well, in this case, it was best to just do it. Hopefully, her partner wouldn’t go to a bad place with this, when she told her.

Like up in her business.

“You know how everyone thinks Lucian and Ridge are having an affair?”

She nodded, and then her eyes went huge.

“Oh, Bish.”

Was her partner about to confirm this?

Honor hated this kind of thing. She hated having to jump into people’s relationships. That always got messy.

“Please say that’s just gossip. Please say that you’re not going to confirm that.”

Yeah, she was.

Bishop dropped the bomb.

It was the second in a matter of minutes, too.

“In the static, they are. Here, they aren’t. The dates line up to when we both found out from them. It was when we were back from planning the wedding for Hailey and Bodhi in Utah.”

Bishop kept it as light on details as she could and didn’t say shit about this plane.

Why?

It literally just happened yesterday.

There was no way that Wynter knew about it. Ridge had lied to Lucian, and he hadn’t found out until right before Wynter’s death.

Honor stared at her and was now forced to be in that awkward place she hated to be.

Up in her friend’s personal business.

But still, Bishop kept talking.

Unfortunately.

“It’s not really an affair. We both knew about it. They told us BEFOREHAND. They asked permission in order to go deeper into the static to help solve the murders.”

Honor sighed.

Bishop was expecting the worst.

That was NOT what she got.

“Are you okay?” she asked. “You know, with it? You’re not going to eat your gun, are you? I’m not going to have to beat your ass, Princess, to stop you from offing yourself, am I?” she asked.

Honestly, Bishop would have laughed if this wasn’t the worst possible scenario for them.

In the back of her head, she was thinking about one thing, and one thing alone.

Someone would have to tell Ridge.

The man, who was beating himself to a pulp out of guilt that he’d dropped the ball, was going to have to be informed about his wife’s infidelity.

“No! I’m good. I’m not jealous or upset. They came to us, and asked permission first. It wasn’t an affair.”
