An hour later, we were on the road homeward bound. The ride was silent. Flynn gripped the wheel, his face tense, eyes on the road. Ash dozed in the back next to Hawk, and even though he was close by, I felt myself turning around to look at him.

Flynn reached over and gripped my thigh. “You should sleep, love.”

“I’m fine.” I rested my hand on top of his. “You know what I want?”

“Tell me.”

“I want a hot bath, my bed—with you in it—and our son sound asleep in a bassinet in our room.”

“I think we can spare a day”—his eyes slid to me for one moment—“and a night.”

I smiled in response as he turned his eyes back to the road.

“We’re going to have to talk about it, you know. Really talk about it,” he said.

“I know.”

“Why won’t you tell me? What are you afraid of? That I won’t love you? That I wouldn’t understand?”

I let out a laugh, but it sounded rusty. “You? You think this is about you?” I shook my head before leaning against the headrest and closing my eyes.

“You will not talk to Sasha about this,” Flynn said, not letting the conversation go. “I want to be the one you turn to.”

“You are the one I turn to.” I opened my eyes and forced myself to stare at him.

“No, I’m the one who you use for sex whenever you need to work something out. You talk to Sasha.”

“Not here,” I said. “Ash is asleep in the back seat, and I don’t want to her to wake up to witness our fight.”

“Too late,” came Ash’s croaky, sleep-filled voice. “And I hate to be the one to break up the brewing fight, but your son needs changing.”
