“I went to go fill up her car, and I moved the seat back. When I did, a half-used pack of pills fell out of the door pocket. She was taking them, and seeing a doctor, I guess.”

Well, that was a problem. It was clear that she didn’t want to have any kids, but that wasn’t the doctor she had an appointment with, according to the cards.

That led her to believe one thing.

Did this tie to what she’d just said earlier about her being depressed after pregnancy?

Could Wynter really have been?

The therapist card would likely point in that direction, and it made sense. The birth control, not so much.

“That had to be what was happening,” Ridge admitted.

Oh, not even close.

Somehow, this seemed worse. That Wynter wasn’t telling her husband…

That was bad.

Now, Bishop stared at her husband, and the look said it all.

‘Who is going to tell him and break his heart?’

Because she would rock, paper, scissors to not have to be the one who told the man, she hoped her husband would take one for the team.

Or give one.

She was pretty sure both of those scenarios were happening anyway in bed.

“I’ll do it,” he offered.

Yeah, Lucian was going to own this one, since he already was in a ton of shit once Bishop found out what had happened.

Focusing on the man, he tried to find a way.

“Ridge, I have to tell you something.”

The man looked confused.

“What?”

Lucian pulled off the bandage. Knowing this man, he was well aware he’d be hurt by his wife keeping this from him.

“She was seeing a therapist. We found the cards that they book out the appointments on. Four at a time, and she had one this past Monday, and one next week.”

He stared at them.

“What?” he finally asked. “That can’t be right. Why was my wife seeing a therapist?”

Then, it hit him.

“Oh, Jesus.”

Bishop lifted a brow.

“What?”

He came clean.
