Chapter 40

“Why were you so convinced Donovan was your father? Because he’s gay?”

“Well…yeah. I figured, like father, like son, right?”

I hesitated. “Donovan has a child. A daughter. Did you know that?”

“No.”

I told him about Courtney, just giving him the basics: her age and that she lived with her mother out of state.

“Does Donovan see her?”

“Yes, but not often.”

“Did you know about her?”

“Not until today when he told me.”

“I had no idea he had a kid. That didn’t come up in my research when I was tracking him down. I just found out where he lived, where he worked, and who he was seeing.” He shifted on the mattress. “At least that kid knows who herfather is,” he said bitterly.

“What are you planning to do now? Are you going to track down the other guy your mother was seeing?”

“Blake?” He sighed. “I guess so. I really want to find out the truth. I’m tired of not knowing.”

“What do you know about him?”
