Chapter 6

A few weeks later, April discovered something new about Jean-Luc while thumbing through a magazine that he’d neglected to tell her. She came upon a picture of him and a member of French royalty. When he came into the room and found her staring at the book she was holding, he immediately suspected something wasn’t right.

“What’s wrong, April?”

She looked up at him. “You’re related to the Duke of Candor?”

“Only distantly.”

April furrowed her brow. “What does that even mean?”

“It means he’s my mother’s brother.”

“That would mean he’s a lot closer than distant. You don’t think that I’d need to know this?”

He shook his head. “Not really. It makes no difference. We virtually have no contact with one another.”

“But, he’s your uncle.”

“So what? As I said, we have nothing in common with one another aside from my mother.”

She bit her lip, wanting to ask, what if he wanted to come to their wedding? But instead, she said, “Don’t you think you need to change that?”

Jean-Luc shrugged. “He knows where to find me.”

His attitude really caught her off guard. “Wow,” was all she could manage. This was definitely a different side of him, a side she wasn’t sure she liked. April got to her feet.

“I think I need some air.”

“Wait, I’ll go with you.”

She looked over at him. “If you don’t mind, I’d like to be alone.”

Not quite understanding, but he heeded nevertheless. “Okay.”

Outside, April took a deep breath to calm herself; that was the moment she heard someone call her name.

“April!”

She whirled around to see her ex. “Paul?”

He was walking toward her, clad in faded denim jeans, a white cotton shirt, his eyes shadowed and remote, he embraced her in a hug.

“What are you doing here?”

“Looking for you.”

Her thoughts whirled in disjointed disorder. Had Donna told him where to find her. Had he thought it might be amusing to pay her a visit. “You shouldn’t have come.”

“Why would you even say that?”

“Because we’re over. We have been for a while.”

He grimaced. “I was hoping we could reconcile. Can we start over?”

“No, we can’t. I’ve moved on with a man that cherishes me. He makes me feel like I don’t come in second to his career which was something you did.”

“I know that now, and it was a mistake.”

“Why the sudden change of heart?”

He shoved his fingers through his hair. “I realized that after I landed in Seattle, I didn’t want to be where you weren’t.”

“Well, it’s a little too late. So, you may as well go back to America where you belong.” When she turned to walk away, he reached out and grabbed her arm. “Let go of me.”

“Not until we’ve talked.”

“There’s nothing to discuss. Goodbye Paul, I’m sorry you came all this way for nothing. Now please release me.”

“I understand from Donna that you’re involved with another man.”

“I am, and we’re planning to be married.”

He laughed dryly. “How long have you known this man?”

“That’s none of your business.”

“Why won’t you give us a chance?” Paul argued. “I understand why you would be hesitant.
