'Look.' The grim tension simmering between them had not eased in the slightest over the last two miserable days, and Guy was at last sounding utterly fed up as he drove them from the airport into London. 'I am not prepared to argue about it any more! We are going directly to my apartment and that's where you will sleep tonight!'

Marnie's mouth was set in a petulant line, Guy's own expression not much better. The row about where she would sleep tonight had been going on since they'd boarded his private jet in Edinburgh. She was tired, irritable and depressed-the worst of those three things being the tiredness, since she had barely slept a wink during the two nights they had spent in Edinburgh. If she hadn't been lying there tossing and turning restlessly while she battled with her black memories, she had been lying there battling against the damned traitorous way her body wanted to remember how good Guy could make it feel if she would only give in and let him.

'I'm not intending running away, for God's sake,' she sighed wearily.

'No? Well, I am not prepared to trust your word on that. So stop nagging!'

'I only want to get a decent night's sleep in my own bed before I have to face your father tomorrow! God knows,' she complained, eyeing her sadly creased and unhappy dress with distaste, 'I must look a wreck! All I want now is a shower, a change of clothes and my own bed for one last night! I couldn't care less about running away, Guy! I don't think I have the energy left in me to try!' she added drily.

'You had the option to buy fresh clothes in Edinburgh. It was through your own stubbornness that you look a wreck. The rest you can get at the apartment,' he dismissed.

'But I could see to my packing tonight rather than having to do it tomorrow,' she attempted a bit of cajolery.

'No.'

She glared at him. 'Did you bully the girls when you were a little boy, too?' she threw at him tightly.

'I was known for my charm as a child, actually,' he answered with the first hint of a smile for days. 'Only you have ever forced me to resort to bullying tactics.'

'Because I won't let you walk all over me.' 'Because you never know when to give up!' he snapped, then glanced briefly at her and sighed. 'Look, you are tired, I am tired. And-dammit, Marnie, but I can still remember the last time I trusted you to remain where I left you only to find you had disappeared within an hour of my leaving you! And I have no intention of suffering another six months like those again,' he said grimly.

So, he'd suffered: good. So had she. He deserved to. She did not. She felt no pangs of sympathy, no twinges of remorse for worrying him as she had. Her own sorrow had been much harder to shut out. Guy had not held the monopoly on distress.
