CHAPTER SIX

THE COFFEE WENT some way to restoring their nerves. As did the slice of caramel dacquoise they shared. And once they’d returned the mopeds, and Sam had changed into a new shirt at the hotel, throwing his torn one into the wastepaper basket, they decided to head back out and reclaim the day for their own.

Em held his hand as they walked. ‘So that’s a couple of memories that have come back since we’ve been here. That’s good.’

That day he’d followed her to her office at the hospital, after they’d argued about him partying, had been the day he’d accused her of being selfish, of only thinking of herself and what she wanted from their relationship.

‘Selfish? You think I’m selfish because I want to start a family with you?’

‘It’s all you ever talk about! “I want to get pregnant...” “I want a baby...” “I want us to start trying.” Do you ever ask me what I want?’

She’d shaken her head, confused.

‘What do you want, Sam?’

He’d straightened, his face blanching.

‘I’m not ready to be a father yet.’

‘Why? Please tell me.’

‘I can’t...’

His voice had trailed away, and for a moment he’d looked helpless and lost. She’d feared, then, that he was unable to tell her something painful, so she’d broached the subject herself.

‘Don’t you love me, Sam?’

‘Of course I do.’

‘Then why don’t you want us to have a child together? I don’t understand. What’s so wrong with starting a family? We help everyone else do it, day after day, why not us?’

He’d not answered her and so, frustrated, she’d stormed away from him, furious that she could never get a straight answer from him, furious with herself for allowing it to mean so much that it was tearing them apart.

She’d told him earlier today that she’d just been upset at him for staying out with those clients. Well, it had certainly been more than that. Sam hadn’t come home that night but had worked straight through, and he’d only gone off shift when she’d clocked on in the morning.

It had been so humiliating! All the staff at the Monterey must have noticed. How could they not? They’d raised their voices in the hospital corridor and brought a personal matter into the workplace. Even Emily was appalled at herself for that. What must the patients have thought? A premier birthing centre set in the heart of a marital dispute!

Keen to put good memories back into Sam’s head, Emily decided it was time for them to return to the Île de Reuily, otherwise known as the Temple of Love. They’d gone there on their first trip, and Emily was keen for them to go again. There was so much they needed to talk about and sort through, and now that his memories might be coming back she was keen to let him know and understand exactly where she had been coming from. Before any more came back and completely blindsided him. Damaging them for ever.

They needed to talk about the family issue.
