Оглавление“Nate, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have—”
“Don’t.”
His sharp command startled her into silence. Why was he so angry with her?
His jaw tensed and he raked his fingers through his hair with an angry, jerky thrust. “Don’t apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Was he just being polite, trying to spare her feelings? “I don’t understand.”
He took a deep, defeated-sounding breath. “You think I’m a hero. I’m not.”
That again. “You’re being too modest. You—”
But he wouldn’t let her finish. “Verity, I don’t deserve hero worship. Not from you, not from anyone. I treasure every moment of our time together this afternoon, more than you will ever know. But you don’t know—”
Seeing the dread in his expression, she wasn’t really sure she wanted to hear what he had to say. “If it’s something you’d rather not talk about, don’t feel you need to tell me.”
His smile had more grimace than humor to it. “Too late. I need to tell you this for myself as well as for you. There’s something you don’t know about me, about what I’ve done.”
