Jordan couldn’t sleep. He just stretched out with Jaynee in his arms, utterly confused. It was as if she’d come back from New York as a different person. She’d been gloomy before she’d left, but he had thought she was simply lonely with the kids going back to school. She’d filled her life taking care of him and their four children.

Their relationship had begun as a whirlwind romance. From the moment their eyes had met, he’d been thunderstruck. She’d led a tragic life before they’d met, and he’d taken her away from all of it, intent on keeping her safe, and loving her the way she’d deserved. Over the years, their love had grown deeper, though, until they were literally one soul. There was no separation; one could not hurt without the other feeling it.

They’d only disagreed on two things during their marriage, him being a cop and her not wanting to have children until she graduated, which was about five years after they’d gotten married. But then, she’d blessed him with four children.

He’d failed horribly at one of the two things he’d promised. He’d failed to protect her, by the hand of his own brother-in-law, to make things worse. After a gunshot to the head, she’d been in a coma and nearly died. And all the while, he’d been thinking and accusing her of having an affair, when she’d merely been trying to surprise him with the best gift ever. She’d been trying to get pregnant and therefore had been trying not to have sex for two months after quitting the pill.

And now, here he was again, accusing her of having an affair. What in the world was wrong with him? She hadn’t felt good. She’d tried to make him understand, and he’d pushed her, accused her, and seduced her until she gave in to his wants and needs.

Then she’d cried, and he accused her of having an affair instead of wondering if he’d hurt her emotionally. He was a moron. He wanted to wake her up and apologize this very instant, but he thought better of it. It wouldn’t help her; it would only serve to make him feel better. He deserved a night of anguish after what he’d put her through.

It was clear in her eyes she loved him; there was no way she could ever disguise her feelings. In fact, she regarded him as if she’d missed him for years, not days.

Still, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get over her peculiar actions. She’d been forgetting little things like the restaurant, prayers, where they sat, and countless other things in the last couple of days.

The chardonnay had really thrown him; she hadn’t had a drink since before she was pregnant with Johanna and Justin. He didn’t drink, a personal choice, but he’d never asked her not to drink; she just didn’t. So for her to order a drink at lunch after almost thirteen years had really confused him.

She hadn’t had a clue what he
