Оглавление“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“You don’t need to keep asking that, all right?”
“Yeah.” Wyatt relented. “Sorry.” But he wasn’t about to admit defeat and leave. There had to be something he could do. “Wait...are you leaving?”
Marilyn shook her head no, but he didn’t believe it. It only told him that if she was leaving, it wasn’t by choice.
“Come push us on the swings!” one of the twins called from the yard.
Wyatt held up a hand that he’d heard them. “In a minute, okay?” He turned toward Marilyn. He let women come and go in and out of his life with practiced ease, so the sharp prick at the thought of losing her and the girls startled him. He reached his hand toward her elbow. “Mari, please. Tell me what’s going on.”
She pulled in the smallest of breaths, and after a half second of connection he knew they both felt, she pulled away.
This weird protective thing? This “you can’t hurt her” battle cry that came out of nowhere?
It stumped him worse than a dozen broken carousels.
