For a second, just for the tiniest second, a wild thought flitted through his brain. He tried to approximate Reuben’s age. Was he around four? Could, by some miracle, Reuben be his?

Almost as soon as the thought appeared, he shook it off. He was infertile. Tests had shown beyond any doubt that he was infertile. Reuben could never be his child. So whose child was he? And just how quickly had Abby moved on?

He cleared his throat, attracting her attention. ‘You have a son.’

‘Yes, yes I do.’ Abby turned Reuben around in her lap to face Luke with a proud smile on her face. ‘Reuben, this is Mommy’s friend. He’s called Luke and he’s a doctor—like Mommy.’

Luke watched the little figure Abby had clutched closely to her chest. His heart was beating frantically. “Pleased to meet you, Reuben.” He held his hand out to the little guy.

“How old is Reuben, Abby?

“He’s four,” she answered quickly.
