Those Eyes Betrayed Them

Synopsis

My best friend's three-year-old son had the exact same eyes as my husband. I held little Lucas in my arms and watched him smile. The curve of his smile, the shape of his eyes, and even the way they crinkled when he laughed were just like my husband's. I froze. "What's wrong?" Lucas asked. My own voice trembled. "Nothing." I set him down and watched him run straight to Emily Carter, my best friend of twenty years. She scooped Lucas up and smiled at me. "See how much he loves you." I smiled back. But my palms were drenched in sweat.
