Babies in Twinkle Falls
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: (Kylee and Bridgette) “I think all of this could be a product of your imagination working overtime.” “It’s not made up, Bridgette, I swear. Mummy gave me the first photo years ago, and it’s the only one I had of my father until—” “Quit saying that!” She huffs, “I don’t even know for sure if the man in that picture is my father. Though, let’s say it is. There’s no possible way you could be his daughter.” “Why? Am I not good enough to be a Dupont?” “That’s not what I meant, and you know it.” “Do I? We’re total opposites, Bridgette. You’re a successful baker who went to some prestigious culinary school, and I’m a struggling, knocked-up girl who takes any job she can to make ends meet.” “Stop that. It sounds like you’re trying to play on my sympathy so I’ll change my mind about that photo.” “Believe what you want.” I wince when my lower abdomen tightens. Reflexively rubbing it, I continue, “Like I said, she never talked about him. Mummy said they were only together a short time; however, he was in the Navy, and he died when I was just a baby.” “There you go…that proves my father cannot be yours, because mine is very much alive.” Still massaging my aching belly, I propose, “Well, maybe she lied about that part for some reason, I don’t know. Was your father ever in the Navy?” “That means nothing—a lot of men have been in the Navy.” “That sounds like a yes if you ask me.” “Well, I didn’t ask you.” Her eyes flutter when she turns and takes a few steps. “You’re avoiding the question.” She turns back around. “He was, though only for a short time. I’ll have you know, my parents have been happily married for thirty-nine years, so there’s no way anything like you’re insinuating ever could’ve happened.”
