But the truth was going to.
Brooke muttered something under her breath, but I couldn’t hear it. I did, however, hear Grace’s name.
“What was that?” I asked as I leaned in. If she was bad-mouthing Grace of all people, then I would drag her out of here myself.
“Grace’ll dump you when she sees this.”
I didn’t have time to ask what she meant because her lips were on mine. My ears rang, but I could hear gasps ring out across the bar.
I jerked away, mouth on fire. “What the?—”
Brooke slapped me before I could finish my sentence. “Did you seriously just kiss me while my pregnant sister is at home asleep?”
“What? No, I?—”
“Everyone saw it,” she said. “And everyone knows I wouldneverkiss someone here. But the kind of guy you are?” Now she smiled, and I saw what kind of monster she truly was. “You sure would.”

Kerry Winsor:I hate to be the person to do this again, but I must issue a warning about the new baby daddy in town. Brooke sent me a voice note along with many messages. Dean kissed her in the bar while Grace was at home. He’s apparently been making moves on Brooke since they met! Who else was at the bar and can confirm?
Comments:
Dale Garrett:I was. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it.
Kerry Winsor:A man from out of town with a history of breaking hearts kissing Brooke while with Grace? I can’t believe I helped him!!!
Tammy Jane:I’m so tired of these men cheating on our girls! Damn playboys always think they’re slick!!!
Mollie Wilson: @Jade Clark @Wren HackettRED ALERT
Kerry Winsor:Finally telling the girls who he is?
Mollie Wilson:Kerry, this is NOT appropriate for the group. Second, I’m alerting the girls so we can clear this up with the people involved ... You know, like real adults.
Jade Clark:Oh, I’m past being an adult. ADMINS FUCKING DELETE THIS SHIT NOW BEFORE I SAY ENOUGH BAD WORDS TO GET THE GROUP REMOVED.
There weremany reasons I would wake up in the middle of the night.
But on this night, it was a bad feeling that settled deep in my stomach. My eyes were still heavy from sleep, but I slowly sat up.
That was when I saw my phone was lighting up brighter than a Christmas tree.
I reached for it, wondering if Brooke had enacted her revenge.
Kerry
I’m so sorry about what Dean did. I’m heading to bed, but if you need to chat tomorrow, I’m here for you!
Tammy
I didn’t trust him. You say the word and I’ll ban him everywhere.
