Chapter 6

“You’re upset,” Trent said, hurrying to catch up with me as we walked across the front porch on our way back inside the cabin.

“No, I’m not,” I said, shaking my head.

“You haven’t said a word the entire walk back,” he said, catching my arm.

Trent turned me to face him, his hands resting on my shoulders. He towered above me, and I gazed up at him, wishing we could just go inside and pretend that the entire conversation never even happened. “I’m just tired. Maybe we should just talk more about everything tomorrow.”

“Fine, let’s go to bed,” he said, pulling me to him for a kiss.

I knew Trent thought I’d come around and see his side of things. He didn’t seem upset anymore about our conversation and was now sliding his hands down my back and over my bikini bottom as he pulled me closer, showing me just how much he still wanted our romantic evening to continue.

“Maybe I should sleep in Hannah’s room tonight,” I said, breaking away.

“What?” he asked, finally looking as confused as I was feeling. “Look, we don’t have to have a baby right now. I just want to be with you, Meghan.”

“But you do want a baby. Someday.”

“Well, yeah.”

“Let’s just talk more tomorrow. I’m going to bed.”

“Meghan,” he said, reaching for me again as I turned away.

I pulled my arm free and glanced back over my shoulder. “Goodnight.”

The hurt in his eyes was unmistakable this time, but maybe now he would realize how I was feeling. Hurt. Trent hadn’t even asked how I felt about our conversation or why I didn’t want another baby. He just assumed I would be happy. I felt a knot in my stomach as tears filled my eyes. This was not how I planned to spend our first night in the cabin—a semi-argument about something huge that didn’t bode well for our future together, us in separate bedrooms. I couldn’t sleep in the same bed with Trent and let him make love to me though, pretending everything was all right, when I was feeling so uncertain. I didn’t see how we could have a future together with us each wanting such different things. My heart already had been broken once, years ago, when my ex-boyfriend disappeared from Hannah’s and my life. I wasn’t about to let myself fall so hard that I’d end up completely brokenhearted again.
