Shadewood I only wish we weren't friends

There was something so innocent about the way he looked at her and she wondered whether or not telling him would ruin that. She hesitated and when he asked if it was him she gasped and slid down to her stomach beside him "No baby...no. You're the best thing in my life" she whispered and looked even sadder. Why would he think it was him? She brushed that aside and readied herself for a tough conversation. "Me and your daddy are...well we aren't together anymore" she said unsure how to explain. "Sometimes in life we  make mistakes that we can't make up for. Sometimes people lie about those mistakes instead of being honest" she tried to say it as simply as possible. "Your daddy...he's a good man but even good men make these mistakes...even good men lie. He made a mistake that really broke my heart" she paused there and looked down at him giving him time to process and ask questions if he needed to. She didn't want him thinking badly about his father but she wanted him to know the truth and to learn from his dad's mistakes.
