How could a man with so much kindness in him be so insensitive?

The cocky smile slid from his face.

The pressure in Eve's chest was so tremendous she couldn't bear it.

In spite of doing her level best, her eyes filled.

Matt winced, reached across the table to cover her hand gripping the knife with his.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I said it to make you laugh, not cry."

"Leave me alone. I don't need you. I don't want to..." Want you, she nearly said and slapped a hand over her mouth.

He stood, came around the table and crouched down beside her.

"Eve..."

If he touched her she'd totally lose it.

All she wanted to do was to throw herself into his arms and just let all her pent-up feelings out. But she knew that once she started crying she'd never stop. And he'd be too kind and understanding and gentle. And that would kill her.

Oh God, this was a nightmare.

"It's okay. It's me. Pregnancy hormones. Do you think we can get out of here? Go for a walk or something?"

"Sure." He pulled her to her feet, held her wrists. His thumbs rubbed the racing pulse points on her skin as blue eyes searched hers. Eve recognised anxiety and guilt and something else she couldn't identify.

"We'll go for a walk in the snow and I promise I won't lay a finger on you. Unless you want me to."

That was the trouble, Eve thought.

She did want him to.
