"He has family too," Ivy insisted.
Joey hesitated.
"He didn't tell you…" Joey muttered.
Ivy's brows drew together. "Tell me what?"
Joey sighed. "He hasn't spoken to his parents in over a year."
"Why? I understand him staying away from Tom. But Anna?" She shook her head as confusion twisted through her.
Joey sighed, shoulders sinking. "When the Orchard will was read," he began, rubbing both hands over his face, "asides from getting the entire Orchard fortune, Winn also found out his parents had been lying to him his whole life."
"What do you mean?"
"Tom isn't his father," Joey said quietly. "So no, Ivy… he doesn't have anyone. Just me and you. And right now, what will work is you."
"He's limited on loved ones," Joey continued. "Losing one that would love him unconditionally, one who he wasn't even given the opportunity to meet…" He stopped. "Ivy, the baby wasn't just a loss for you."
Ivy cut him off with a sharp, trembling snap. "What? So it's my fault?"
