She acted clueless. “Be upfront about what?”

“You know, about the baby she’s carrying, that it’s—”

“Ivan’s right. If you have something to say, you can say it at lunch with us,” Lance said.

Ivan jumped in quickly. “Lance, Catherine’s leaving soon. Should she really be part of this conversation?”
