He had nothing to say.
“And that’s exactly why I’m refusing your proposal. You haven’t been truthful with either woman.”
Callum pushed his chair back.
“I need to get outside for a while.”
“Then go. But we’re not pretending this conversation never happened.”
He grabbed his travel bag and left.

The following evening, Kieran was building a tower on the living room floor when my phone buzzed.
The message came from a number I didn’t recognize.
“I think Callum told us completely different stories. You don’t have to answer me.”
I stared at the screen.
Then I typed one question.
“Did he tell you I had agreed to him living in both homes?”
A few minutes later, a reply appeared.
“No. He told me you both understood that your marriage was emotionally finished and that you were only sharing a home because of Kieran.”
