"Yes." She said as if it was a stupid question.<br />

"How old is she?"<br />

I wondered what else I didn't know about Elly.<br />

I might have been having a kid with her but we hadn’t even known each other<br />

six months yet and she could have had a million different skeletons lurking in<br />

her closets. I doubt there would have been any room though, not with all the<br />

clothes she bought.<br />

Truth was that I hadn’t told her all my deep and dark secrets either. If they<br />

didn’t come up I doubt I would. <strong>The</strong>re was plenty of stuff from when I worked<br />

in bars and there was the summer I’d spent in the Greek tourist trap called Kos.<br />

I could have written a book about the months I spent there and the crazy shit<br />

that went down. I certainly wouldn’t be offering her any of the gory details<br />

freely and maybe she had similarly grim memories that were better forgotten.<br />

I already knew about her funding secret but I couldn’t wrap my head around the<br />

fact that she had a kid, a daughter.<br />

Top quality parenting. I would have to be the responsible one.<br />

"Why didn't you tell me?" I raged.<br />

"I tell you now." She said defensively. "It isn't most important."<br />

"It's pretty fucking important. Where's her father?"<br />

I should have asked why she wasn't at the family gathering.<br />

Was she another one of Elly's little secrets that her family didn’t know about?
