Nicole had no intention of burdening her friend with the ugly truth. She barely could live with it herself. So Nicole decided to bring up something pl...usible but not quite as horrible.“Listen, Amy. This is really confidential,” she whispered. “Bob never asked me to visit him in Peoria. I just found out why.”“Spill, honey,” Amy encouraged her.“He has a stepson from his previous marriage.
