Beth felt his steady stare as she would have his hands on her body. Heâd always had the ability to look at her as if he was seeing something deep inside of her. Sheâd felt at times that she couldnât keep a secret from him because somehow Cam would know. Apparently, though, he had no problem at all hiding truths he wanted locked away.
Sheâd been holding herself together ever since leaving Burt Wheelerâs place. Sheâd smiled through lunch with Gracie, then made a few more donation stops before dropping her friend off at her home. It was only then sheâd given her emotions full rein. Only then that she allowed herself to really think about what Burt had said.
Julie. Pregnant.
She looked up at the man standing in front of her and accepted that sheâd been wrong about Cam fifteen years ago. Sheâd believed heâd never leave. And he had. She had believed he loved herâbut heâd apparently been sleeping with Julie, too.
âBeth?â His voice was low, almost intimate, and that was what pushed her into blurting out the truth.
âBurt told me Julie was pregnant when the two of you ran away.â
God. Fresh pain welled up and stung her eyes with tears she absolutely refused to shed. Heâd betrayed her even more completely than sheâd once believed. Just thinking about it now made her want to block everything from her mind so the pain would stop.
But she couldnât do that. She had to know. Staring up at Cam, she waited for him to say something. Anything. But his features were cold and hard. His dark brown eyes were shadowy places where the truth lay hidden.
Yet he didnât deny it. How could he?
Bethâs heart ached more with every silent second that ticked past. As she watched him, she saw his eyes fill with sympathy. Regret. That told her everything she needed to know.
Shaking her head, she turned away from him until he finally spoke.
âIâm sorry, Beth. I should have thought that Burt would say something.â
âOh, God.â She turned to him again and slapped one hand to her chest to try to ease the pain of her heart being squeezed by a giant cold fist. âJulie was pregnant.â
âYes.â
One word. Clipped. No explanation. Then again, she ranted internally, how could there be? How could he possibly explain getting another girl pregnant while he was Bethâs boyfriend?
âThank you for that, anyway,â she muttered.
âWhat?â
âFor not denying it. For not lying to me. Again. My God, what an idiot I was.â She choked out a laugh. âNo wonder my father wanted to break us up. He knew I wasnât able to see you for who you really were.â
âYou did see me.â
âNot then. But I do now.â
âDamn it, Beth...â Cam stood there, hands at his sides, looking into her eyes as if willing her to give him a chance to explain. But what could he say? And why should she listen?
âNo. Thereâs nothing you can say that makes this all right,â she murmured.
âIâm not going to try to explain.
