CHAPTER 15

GALEN

Everything is not okay.

A few weeks later, the morning before they’re scheduled to have dinner with Desmond Keane and his wife Lena, Hades and Persy get in yet another fight about his refusal to have the kind of sex she wants. And pointing out that his losing control at the bayou house was a mistake only makes it worse.

“I’m glad the only time you decided not to treat me like an invalid was a mistake,” she says, her eyes flashing with hurt. “What are we going to do if I don’t get my next period, then? Are you going to make me get an abortion because you don’t think I’m capable of mothering a child?”

Of course he wouldn’t do that. And that she would accuse him of such a thing cut him like a knife.

She takes it back almost immediately after saying it. They apologize to each other, and he reiterates how much he loves her—that all he wants to do is give her pleasure. That he’s willing to sacrifice his own sexual needs as long as it takes for her to regain her memories.

But that’s no longer enough after what passed at the bayou house. This version of Stephanie seems to be done with settling for his hands and mouth.

“I love you too, and I’m grateful you’ve been so patient with me,” she says, cupping his face. “But the fact is, I might never get my memories back. So, I’m going to pick up a pregnancy test after I get off work, and if it’s positive, we’ll still have dinner with the Keanes. But after that, we’re going to have a long, long talk about changing our current dynamic. Okay?”

“Oui,” he agrees, hating himself for the hope bubbling in his gut.

He didn’t mean to trap her. But if he had…If she never got her memories back and this dream life he created for them can become permanent…

He’s not sure why he went into work that morning. Sure, he needed to go over his business numbers and project list with the team at RR Homes so he can sound up-to-date and knowledgeable when he talks with Desmond Keane at dinner that night. Plus, he has a Zoom call with the Louisiana branch about the progress on Bayou Falls.

But his head wasn’t really firing on all cylinders.

And though he told himself he’d wait patiently until he got home, he ends up texting Persy ten minutes after the trackerware he had installed in her car as soon as they got back from Louisiana lets him know she’s arrived home.

Ma belle, waiting on your call. Did you pick it up?

He waits. Five minutes, then ten. No answer.

Okay, that can mean anything. Maybe she simply hasn’t taken it yet.

When she doesn’t finish her task list before it’s time to pick up Daphne, she sometimes does a little more work when she gets home.

He checks the mirrorware he keeps for both her home and work computer, and sure enough, her day was packed.

But his stomach drops when he sees a name that wasn’t on there when he checked her schedule for the week.
