Chapter 18

“I’m just thinking.”

“About what? Donovan being with a woman?”

I almost answered “yes” but stopped myself because something Ryan had said caught my attention and it had nothing to do with Donovan’s journey in and out of the closet. I hadn’t mentioned Donovan’s name before, so how could Ryan have possibly known it?

“How did you know my ex’s name is Donovan?”

Ryan shrugged. “You told me.”

Bullshit, I was tempted to blurt, but instead I calmly said, “No, I didn’t.”

“I’m pretty sure you did. How else would I have known his name? I’m not a mind-reader, Matthew.”
