Chapter 14

&ldquo;Who is Luke? Jen&rsquo;s husband?&rdquo;

&ldquo;Erm, no. Luke&rsquo;s her son.&rdquo; Tristan couldn&rsquo;t help but smile. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s five, and he&rsquo;s gonna be a fireman when he grows up.&rdquo; He raised his coffee cup to his mouth. The liquid was too hot for his frozen lips, but he didn&rsquo;t care.

&ldquo;You&rsquo;re his father?&rdquo;

&ldquo;What?&rdquo; Tristan spluttered and then swore. He grabbed the napkin from the saucer to wipe away the droplets trickling down his beard. &ldquo;No, I&rsquo;m not Luke&rsquo;s father. He passed away when Luke was a baby. Cancer. Jen has been running this place by herself ever since.&rdquo;

&ldquo;But…you and Jen?&rdquo; Aiden tipped his head to the side making one of the dark locks fall forward.

&ldquo;What about me and Jen?&rdquo; Tristan gulped down some more coffee to mask the growl he wanted to let out.

&ldquo;You&rsquo;re an item?&rdquo;
