Her heart slammed violently in her chest. Her hands were shaking. She had to do this quickly.

“You what?”
Grace leaned into the back seat and unhooked the straps in the baby carrier, lifting Jules.
She straightened and shut the door with her hip. Mica stared at her and then at the baby. “Hold out your arm, Mica.”
He was speechless as she walked up to him, but he took Jules when she held him out.
“He’s yours, and it’s your turn to take care of him.”
Mica’s blue eyes blazed with mistrust and something akin to revulsion. “You’ve got to be kidding.”
“Does he look like a joke?”
“No.” His surprise and mounting anger hit her like shotgun pellets. Sharp, painful and deep. She’d thought she’d prepared herself for his reaction, but seeing Mica and remembering what it was like to be in his arms... Grace hated herself for being the bad guy. There wasn’t a single thing she’d done since last October that merited his trust, love or respect.
“I don’t have a son,” Mica said and started to hand the baby back to her.
“Yes, you do. This is Jules.”
