All these years later and her band is in bankruptcy, and I’m on the wrong side of the courtroom. Winning is everything to me, but I already played the game and lost against her. I can’t do it again, especially not when I find out she’s a single mom with a pretty little girl. A little girl that looks – Just. Like. Me. No way she’s been keeping our baby a secret from me all these years. If so, the final joke has always been on me. She was, is, and will always be - My One and Only.
