Lately, Bennett seemed to have something on his mind that he wasn’t sharing with her. It was just a feeling, and she could be wrong, but she sensed an odd shift in their relationship.
“When you fall in love, you might feel different. Ideally, you become true partners in life.” As her last words hung between them, Ivy thought about that. True partners in life.
“Maybe I will.” Poppy’s cheeks turned pink. “I’d like to find out.”
Ivy continued pacing as she recalled the conversation she’d had with Geena at Carol’s. “Geena told me she didn’t know who her father was.”
“Maybe she didn’t—until earlier this year.”
“That makes sense,” Ivy said, sorting information in her mind. “I would guess that after Geena’s mother gave one child up for adoption, she didn’t want to give up another baby.”
