“You didn’t see his face, Paige.”

“I didn’t want to see it. I still don’t. Maybe not ever again.” Paige was trying not to raise her voice at her husband. “I have never been so…so…furious.” Her voice caught as she added, “And devastated.”

Chris took her in his arms. “I know, baby. Me too.”

“It’s just not fair, Chris.” She had tears in her eyes. “I know you love him, but I wouldn’t have even met you without Liz. So, if there’s a choice that has to be made here, in my book she wins. Especially after the way he treated her.”

The look he gave her was stunned. “No, Paige.” He took her by the shoulders and made her look him in the eyes. “No. I am not giving up on my best friend because of this. I’m telling you, you didn’t see his face. He knows.” Her brow was furrowed, so he added, “Besides, you know perfectly well Liz would be pissed off if you made me give up my best friend because of her. Or even if you and Micky stopped being friends because of something that happened between the two of them. You know that’s the way she thinks, crazy as that is.”

Paige softened. “She’s wrong about that. I can disown anyone I want.”

“He wants to talk to you.”

“Yeah, well, I want him to…to…I don’t even know. I’m still so angry.”

Chris held her again. “Will you just talk to him? Please, baby?”

She made a non-committal noise against his shirt.

He started to pet her hair. “He was such a mess after you left here. I have never seen him like that. When he realized what he had done…” He paused and looked at Paige again. “He didn’t know, Paige. I saw it on his face as he figured out he was in love with her.”

“I don’t care.”

“You do.”

“I don’t want to!” She practically yelled it. “I don’t want to feel bad for him, Chris! I just found out how badly he hurt Liz. I don’t want to have any sympathy for him! How do I know he’s even sincere? The Micky I know would never have done that!”

Chris smiled. “Yeah, I told him the same thing. And then I saw the Micky I know—when he realized, it made him sick. Literally sick. That kind of regret is hard to fake.”

Paige looked at him. “Really?”

“Really. Multiple times.”

Paige closed her eyes. “God damn it.” Chris smiled and hugged her close.

“Thank you, baby.”

“I haven’t agreed to anything.”

“But you’ll talk to him.”

“Shit.”
