and her friend pulled it open, tears blurred Harper’s vision once more.
    Kylie took one look and pulled Harper into her arms without asking any questions.
    “Everything is so fucked up, Kye.” Harper’s shoulders shook as she tried to catch her breath. Not once since all the shit started with her father and the accusations and lawsuits had Harper cried. She’d been harassed, sworn at, called names and dragged into his business, and she had not broken. Why now?
    “What’s going on?” Kylie’s father was the CEO of one of the biggest investment firms on the East Coast and thankfully had not been one of the people that Harper’s father had stolen from.
    When the accusations had started and Harper’s friends dropped like flies, Kylie stuck around. She’d been there for Harper throughout everything so far, and Kylie was the only person who she could turn to.
    They sat together on the white leather sofa that faced a wall of windows overlooking the Common. Maybe she could just stay right there, staring out at the trees and grass until all the shit stopped. She’d be old and grey before people forgot what her father did.
    “I might be pregnant,” Harper whispered, needing to say it out loud to remind herself that it was real.
    “What? I thought you and Stan broke up? Why didn’t you tell me you were back together, I would have put away that voodoo doll I made, which may or may not have a pin stuck in its dick.” Kylie narrowed her eyes. “Wait, if I had a black magic hex that caused erectile dysfunction on his cock, how did you maybe get pregnant?”
    Harper laughed. She could always count on Kylie to cheer her up. She knew that Kylie was there for her and didn’t judge Harper for what her father had done.
    Harper shook her head. “It’s not Stan. It was...remember when I went to Tahiti alone? Well, I wasn’t exactly alone the whole time.”
    Kylie’s eyes got big then a grin broke out over her face. “Oh my god. You hooked up with someone? You, who gave me enormous shit because of Club Z guy?”
    When she and Kylie gone out about six months ago, Kye had met some guy at the club and had actually had bathroom sex with him. Afterwards, she came out, had another drink and danced for the rest of the night. She didn’t even get his name and Harper had given her shit about it for months.
    But Club Z guy and Ethan weren’t really the same. Harper had spent the day with Ethan first. At least she knew his name, even though she woke up alone the next morning. Harper shifted on the couch and couldn’t quite meet Kylie’s stare. Her friend would never judge her for a mistake, but Harper still felt like an idiot for what she’d done.
    That first night they were together in Tahiti.
    Not the next time they had sex in his apartment. That time had been with full disclosure on who each other was. She had wanted him and she was pretty damned sure he wanted her too.
    “So this happened weeks ago and you are just now getting around to telling your best friend? You brought me back a lame magnet when you could have told me a raunchy bedtime story?” Kylie pouted.
    “Yeah. You got a magnet, but…” Harper sucked in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “I may have come back with more than a keychain souvenir from that night.”
    Her smile faded and Kye put her arm around Harper. “Shit. So this guy might be your baby daddy…” Kylie waved toward Harpers stomach.
    “Please don’t say that. I’m sure I’m not actually pregnant. Just maybe pregnant.”
    “Did you get a name? Was he a tourist too? Are you going to tell him? Do you even know how to get in touch with him? I can have one of my dad’s security guys do some looking...”
    “It’s Ethan Wentworth,” Harper blurted out. “And yes, the same Wentworth family that my father basically stole money from? Yeah, he’s the son.”
    Kylie’s mouth fell open and her delicate eyebrows scrunched down. “Seriously? Ethan Wentworth is like the hot new thing.”
    “I
