Chapter 10

Quinn

I want to believe him, but I don’t. Not as I stand here and stare at the pictures of them as teenagers and her with their family. His grandmother in the kitchen with her. His niece sitting on her lap, recently, too. No, I don’t believe him. You can’t have that kind of history with someone and just end it. Even if he did, what he feels for me isn’t real. It’s just because he’s a natural protector, and his feelings are amplified because of what’s happening to me right now. It makes sense. The more I get to know him the more I know he’s a good and decent man who is super protective.

But once he realizes I’m just a rebound, he’ll go back to her. She’s pregnant. He’s been with her forever, so there’s no way he’s going to just leave her for good right now.

He’s too nice.

He’ll end up back with her, especially because they’re going to have a baby. He might not think it’s his, but seriously… with their history… how can he just walk away?

He’s too caring to break up with me or call off whatever it is we have, so I’ll have to be the one to do it. Plus, and this is what kills me… he’s going to be a father. I don’t want him risking his life with a crazy man who’s after me. Wes needs to be safe to be there for his child, and that means not with me.

So I’ll do it. I’ll end what was barely started and hate every minute of it, but… not yet. I need out of his apartment, and I need to be alone.

So, faking it like always, I turn around with a smile, thankful my sunglasses are still on so he can’t see my eyes. “Okay.”

He raises a brow, skeptical as I’m sure he can tell I’m lying. “Baby, I—”

“It’s fine. Let’s get what you need, though, because we don’t want to be late to meet with Ian, remember?”

Thank God—and I am definitely sending a prayer up to him tonight—Wesley’s phone rings. He tilts my face up and gives me a soft kiss before sliding his finger across the screen and walking down the hallway.
