“You’re saying that your father—” He hesitated, suddenly wishing he could go back in time and restart this conversation, convince it to proceed in a different direction. No longer did he want to get at the truth of this matter. It was too ugly a truth. Yet that word—acquisition—nipped at him. It spoke of transaction of the fiscal variety. He couldn’t let it be. “Your father sold you.”

She cleared her throat. “It’s a free country. I made my choices.”

Cold, distant, and tough were her words, as if they, or the motivations behind them, no longer affected her. But her eyes, raw and skittish, belied her bluff.

“You were married three years?”

She nodded.

“Enough time to start a family,” he stated, again pushing her.

Children come of marriage. Those had been her exact words as they’d stood outside the schoolyard, watching the children play. To be blunt, it only took about two minutes to conceive a child, if that was the main goal.

And they hadn’t managed it in three years?

It didn’t make sense.

Her gaze skittered toward him, and her jaw clenched. He’d struck his mark. “Perhaps,” she began, “but no number of years is enough time if—” She bit off the rest of the sentence.

Her cheeks had grown flushed, and emotion rioted behind her tough exterior. Nylander leaned forward and placed his palms flat on the oak desk. “Not long enough if . . . ?” he prompted. She would finish the sentence she’d started.

Her gaze fixed on some indeterminate point on her lap. She rolled her bottom lip between her teeth before releasing it on a rough harrumph of her throat. She had the most unladylike habits. He rather liked them. They were honest.
