  Lily met his gaze head-on, and her chin lifted in determination. "I didn't know Kenneth would show up," she replied, her voice steady. "Things got out of control really fast with Aimee and Ethan. I was just trying to help."

  "Help?" Garrett scoffed, his voice dripping with disbelief. "You can't be nonchalant about these things, Lily! You're pregnant, for God's sake!" He paused, his anger turning to pain as he lowered his voice. "Why did you hide it from me?"

  Lily looked away, her heart aching at the pain in his voice. "I just... I didn't want to be treated as a burden or a liability," she admitted quietly.
