Chapter Fifteen

The tiny backing for her earring fell to the hardwood floor with a soft ping.

“Great,” Amanda hissed. If she stooped down to look for it, it would take her an hour to get up from the floor. Amanda closed her eyes and took a deep, irritated breath.

She fumbled through her wooden jewelry box searching for another pair of earrings that would match her dress and shoes, but came up with nothing.

She was being punished. She was convinced.

She crossed the hallway from the guest bedroom to the master suite.

She had kept her distance from this part of the house. The memories were too strong, even though she and Jeffrey had not been man and wife, in the true sense of the phrase, for some time now. Well, except for the night she had become pregnant.

The door was opened slightly. She pushed it a fraction wider, but stopped at the sight of Jeffrey’s naked torso.

He had a gorgeous body. Always had. She still missed snuggling up next to it at night. Even though her bipolar medications carried a risk of sexual side effects, until last year she and Jeffrey had never had a problem in that arena.

She stared wordlessly as Jeffrey pulled a plain white T-shirt over his head. He picked up a salmon-colored button down shirt from the bed.

“Jeffrey,” Amanda said, opening the door the rest of the way and entering the room.

His head came up, his eyes darting to her stomach, which she cradled in her palms.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice etched with concern.

“Oh, nothing like that,” Amanda answered, quickly dropping her hands. Now she felt even more of a fool for asking what she was about to ask. “I need your help.”

She noticed his head rear back slightly and there was no mistaking the hint of surprise on his face.

“What do you need?” He slowly drew his arms through the sleeves of his shirt.

“My earring. I dropped the backing. If I try to get it myself I’ll never get up.”

The makings of a smile crept onto Jeffrey’s face, lifting one corner of his mouth into that sexy grin she had fallen in love with. Jeffrey strode to where she stood, stopping only inches in front of her. He was so close Amanda had to tilt her head up to see his face.

“What does it look like?” he asked. His voice had dropped at least an octave.

It took a second for his question to register. For some reason, her mind had become infatuated with looking into his golden brown eyes.

“Uh...like this.” Amanda tilted her head to the side and brushed the hair from around her ear. “It’s the little gold thing on the back that keeps the earring in place. It should be right around the dresser, if it didn’t roll too far when it hit the floor.”

Without another word, Jeffrey left the master suite.

Amanda looked around the room. This was the first time she had been back in here since the day she’d packed her bags and left.
