in California?” Jason growled at Logan while still holding firmly onto Gillian. She just smiled inwardly as she let Jason do all of the questioning. Unfortunately, Jason’s questions were once again met by silence.
    Gillian pulled her head back and looked up at Jason, who relaxed his hold, but still held onto her. “Thanks Jason, I appreciate you asking. Obviously you know exactly who Jody is, but does anyone else know?”
    Jason smiled down at her. “No Gilly-girl, I don’t think anyone else knows who she is. Your secret is safe with me. What do you want me to do?”
    “Could you please knee your best friend and business partner in the nuts?”
    Jason flinched. “Ouch! I am sure that shit-head you’re married to deserves that, but it’s against the guy code to do that unless under the most dire of circumstances, sweetheart. But I could deliver a right hook to the jaw, if it would make you feel better.”
    “Thanks, but no, that would just earn him sympathy. It’s his boy-parts that keep causing me pain.”
    “How about a direct blow to the gut, would that help a little bit?” he asked with a teasing tone, but Gillian knew that Jason would do it for her.
    Logan decided to chime in with a disgruntled bark. “What the hell man, I’m sitting right here! Quit talking shit!”
    Jason turned his mean glare on his best friend once again and growled at him. “Can it Logan! It’s complete bullshit that your goddamn mistress is crashing your son’s Eighth birthday party and that your wife has to deal with this. This is not about you, so I suggest you shut the hell up!”
    Even though it was nice to have someone else in the know, it still didn’t change the fact that there needed to be some form of action here. Glancing between the two of them, she knew it appeared that things could definitely escalate from verbal to physical quickly. “Stop, please, both of you.” Gillian turned toward Jason. “Thank you for your offers, but you really have no idea how much of a help you have been just by knowing.” She hugged him again.
    “I'm sorry, Gillian. I didn’t realize what was going on ‘til it was too late.” When she pulled back to look at him, the look in his eyes was pained and sympathetic. He knew everything. He was confessing that he knew what Logan had done and was silently begging her to accept his apology. It surprised her how strangely comforting it was that he knew. She didn’t have to explain anything to him.
    Logan interrupted her thoughts and was obviously trying to take her attention off Jason and what he was saying. “Gilly, baby, we need to talk.” She turned to face her husband of sixteen years and was slightly startled at how panicked he looked. This was not the usual Logan Baxter. He was always so put together. This realization just further confirmed the fact that he knew he was caught, and that he had, in fact, still been involved with another woman. She shook her head at him. Jason still had his arm around her, and it made her stronger. “No Logan, now is not the time. Clearly, you have some explaining to do … but as you already pointed out to me, we are supposed to be celebrating our son’s birthday. And that is exactly what I plan to do. I strongly suggest you suck it up and put on a happy face, for his sake. You will not mar his birthday with your inability to control yourself.” With that, she stood up to leave the room.

CHAPTER THREE
    “Dad, are you gonna come in the pool with us?” Ryan yelled to Jake from the water. “Yeah buddy, I will in just a little while. I haven’t had anything to eat since breakfast, so I want to grab some food first.”
    “Okay, Dad.” Ryan proceeded to duck under the water and swim away. Well, Jake assumed he was dismissed to get some food. He strolled over to the new bar Logan had built to see what he could find. The bar looked good; Logan always had the ability to craft up crap like that. It was almost like the guy had everything. Talent,
