I can’t believe he’s still acting like this after all this time. Maybe he’s right about putting the wedding off, but not for the reasons he’s spewing. Maybe we should just cancel it altogether.

I square my shoulders, lifting my chin and trying desperately to keep myself from crying again in his presence. “We can just cancel the entire thing. Why bother postponing it? It’s obvious you aren’t willing to treat me as your equal.”

He blinks at me a few times before his shoulders drop. “If you would just talk to me—”

“And when am I supposed to do that, exactly? I’ve barely seen you in the past two months.”

“Nor I you.”

“And who’s brilliant decision was that, Andrew? Not mine.” I shake my head. “You still don’t get it, do you? We’ve gone right back to where we were when we started. You see me as less than you—a commoner who isn’t worthy—”

“If that were true, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you in the first place.” His gaze bores into mine. “You don’t trust me. That’s what this boils down to. You want to project your blame onto me, but—”

“So you blame me? Because you’ve been so busy the past few months? I don’t know what I have to do to get your attention anymore, Andrew. I could turn cartwheels naked on the lawn, and you still wouldn’t notice—”

“The entire kingdom would notice if you were to do that. And I’d beg you not to.” There’s not even a bit of amusement in his expression. “You don’t need to do anything to get me to notice you.”

“Well, that is clearly a lie.” My shoulders finally drop, defeated. “We should go and tell your mother that this is over. We don’t need to bother with trying to reschedule the damn thing. I’m really just…tired of this.”

His gaze narrows and he glares at me for a long moment. “Is that truly what you want?”

My heart twists in my chest. Of course it isn’t what I want. But it must be what he wants. He isn’t even fighting for this wedding. For us.

I draw in a long breath, trying to control the flood of emotions I know is going to hit me as soon as I say the word. “Yes.”

He shakes his head slowly, still staring at me. “Fine. I’ll tell my mother. You can pack your things.”

“Fine.” Oddly, I don’t start to cry. My heart is still twisted around itself, but other than that I feel…numb. “I’ll stay in a hotel until the flights start running again.”

Andrew works his jaw for a moment, still staring at me. “You’ll stay here until we figure out how we’re going to handle the publicity nightmare that’s sure to follow you wherever you decide to go.”

“Oh, you care about my publicity nightmare, do you? You’ll stay holed up in the palace, so what do you care?” I glance over my shoulder, though there’s no one there. “I’m one of them, remember?”

“Why do we have to continually have this fight? Why can’t you just trust me?”

“I do trust you, Andrew.
