I added, “Can you get the woman’s information and send it to my attorney? I’d rather not communicate with the woman or whoever she has working for her. But if it goes through my representation, there will be no doubt of the outcome. I’ll give her a heads up.”

“Consider it done. And I’ll call around to my contacts and set up the interview.”

After we hung up, I wrapped my arm around Ollie’s waist and snugged him in beside me before I called Maisie Daniels. Her background included not only entertainment law but also criminal, thanks to her father’s work as a prosecutor.

“Blake? What do I owe the honor of speaking to you on a fine Thursday morning?”

Ollie laughed, and I smiled.

“Oh, is that Ollie?”

“Hi, Maisie. How’s your day going?” My boyfriend asked.

“Good, now that you’re talking to me. How’s Hollywood treating you? Do I have to come down there and bash heads?”

Ollie giggled. “No, everyone is great, and the production is coming along. We, or rather, Connor, learned something surprising, and he needs your help.”

There was a pause on the other end.“About the baby?”

I groaned. She was waiting for my call.

“Yeah, and I’m not the father.”

“Since I’m your attorney, I’m going to ask you straight out. Is there even a remote possibility you’re the father?”

“No. It was a threesome with her boyfriend, and I had sex with him only. And with a condom. No chance.”

“Could they have found the disposed condom…”she trailed off, and I recoiled as I thought about it.

“No, we were in my room, and they used a towel to wipe themselves clean and dressed. I threw on a robe before I showed them out. It was after I disposed of the condom. I spoke to Maggie, and she’s going to send you the contact information for the woman.”

“How long ago was it?”

I had to think back. “Two years ago in June. Almost three years then.”

“That’s strange.”

My eyes met Ollie’s, watching him quirk an eyebrow.

“Why?” my boyfriend asked.

“She didn’t contact you at all in the years since?”

“Not as far as I’ve heard. Maggie’s contact information was out there for anyone to find if they needed to reach me, and she only learned of it when it hit the press.”

“I’ll start working on this and will contact you soon.”

“Sounds good. Talk soon.”

After the call ended, I stood and wrapped both arms around Ollie’s waist, pulling him close and breathing him in, taking a moment to readjust my perspective.

“You okay, beautiful?”

I huffed out a laugh and said, “I just had an errant thought about that night. The one thing I could remember was how lonely I was. And it made no sense, because until five minutes ago, I never thought of myself in those terms. It was around the time Spencer and Lee admitted their feelings to each other and even though there wasn’t much time to dwell on it then, now I realized I wanted what they shared with a simple look and a smile.

“Then one day, on a normal flight home, you walked into my life, and I was smitten. Did you know I resigned myself to stay away from you?”

He gave me his patented soft smile, and my heart beat hard in my chest.
