On the Record (Record #2)(112)

“No. Congressman Maxwell, I want you to make a comment on Sandy Carmichael actually being the fake identity of Liz Dougherty,” Calleigh said snootily.

Brady was sure that he stopped breathing.

“No comment?” Calleigh practically taunted.

“What source do you have for that?” Brady asked. He had to know.

“Primary source, Congressman. Do you have a comment now?”

Liz had told her. When was she going to tell him? Just as he had the thought, his phone started vibrating in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw Liz’s name light up the screen. Fuck!

What was he going to do? Had Liz been ready to do this? She had wanted more time. He had been willing to give her more time. God, was he ready for this? He was used to the public, but the scrutiny it would bring going out like this . . . he didn’t know how he was going to deal with it. All he knew at that moment was that he would deal with it.

That meant he had Liz. That meant they were working on this together. That meant they were together . . . finally. It would all be worth it for that.

“Yes, Miss Hollingsworth, I’ll make a comment. Liz Dougherty is Sandy Carmichael. We were in a private relationship two summers ago, and we’re in a public one now.”
