Would you like to take a walk with me? she asked. I always walk on the beach in the mornings when you’re working. That is, if you aren’t too busy?He caught her hand and brought it to his lips. I’m not too busy for you and our child. But should you be resting?An exasperated shriek left her lips, startling him with her ferocity. She yanked her hand from him and parked both of her fists on her hips.Do I look like I need to be resting? Anger and disappointment burned in her eyes. Look, Chrysander, if you don’t want to spend time with me, just say so, but stop throwing out your pat ‘You need to be resting’ line.She turned and stalked farther down the beach, leaving him there feeling like she’d punched him in the stomach. He ran a hand through his hair as he watched her hurry away, and then he strode after her, his feet kicking up sand as he closed the distance between them.Marley! Marley, wait, he called as he caught her elbow.When he turned her around, he was gutted by the tears streaking down her cheeks. She turned her face away and swiped blindly at her eyes with her other hand.Please, just go away, she choked out. Go do whatever it is you do with your time. I’ll wait for my appointment with you in the afternoon.It came out bitter and full of hurt, and he realized that he hadn’t fooled her at all with the distance he put between them.He reached for her chin and gently tugged until she faced him. With his thumb, he wiped at a tear that slipped over her cheekbone.You aren’t an appointment, Marley.No? She yanked away from his touch and retreated a few feet until there was a respectable distance between them. I’ve tried to be patient and understanding even though I don’t understand any of it. Us. You or even me. I can’t figure you out, Chrysander, and I’m tired of trying. I’ve tried to be strong and undemanding, but I can’t do it anymore. I’m scared to death. I don’t know who I am. I wake up one day to find myself pregnant, and there’s a stranger by my bed who says he’s my fiancé and the father of my child. One would think this would tell me that at least I was loved and cherished, but nothing you’ve done has made me feel anything but confusion. You run hot and cold, and I never know which one to expect. I can’t do this.Coldness wrapped around Chrysander’s chest, squeezing until he couldn’t draw a breath. What are you saying? he demanded. ― Maya Banks, The Tycoon's Rebel Bride
