Lamia nodded slowly, uncertain whether she was quite prepared to reveal what was haunting her now that she had his attention. She dragged in an uneven breath.

Just part your lips. The words will sort themselves out.

“You know already I am still upset that you did not tell me of the marriage customs in Sparta.” She hesitated. “But it is more than that—it is the deeper meaning of it all.”

He furrowed his brow when she did not rush to continue. “What are you saying?” he asked quietly, the deep rumble of his voice so earnest that out of cowardice she averted her gaze, not wanting to have to stare into his eyes when she said her next words. But Thanos would not let her retreat so easily. Reaching out a hand to stroke her face, he lifted her chin so that she had no choice but to meet his gaze. She almost faltered at the tender look in his eyes, but she forced herself not to be swayed by it. She resolved to tell him what she truly felt in her heart.

“Thanos, I meant what I said. I truly do love many things about you and my life here, but there is also much about you and your life that I know nothing about. Things you should have told me before you thrust me into this position. It’s my ignorance that makes me question what else you have neglected to tell me. You have intentionally kept matters from me, thinking to protect me, but all you’ve done is make me doubt my ability to trust you—”

The frown he wore tugged at her heart. “I was only trying to shield you. It truly was never my intention to deceive you and I never meant to hurt you. You must know this. I do not blame you for not yet being able to trust me, but you must know that I would never deliberately do anything to hurt you—”

“I don’t know that, Thanos,” she said gently. “Because I do not know you. And I think I just need some time—”

She faltered at the darkness forming in his eyes. The lines along his mouth stood out when he frowned. “Time for what?”

She sighed. There was no turning back now. She had to say it. “Time to make some decisions,” she finished quietly.

“Decisions?” He nodded as if he’d resigned himself. “All right. I can give you time. You shall have plenty of time to make whatever decision you need to mak—”

She placed a single finger against his lips to halt his next words. Thanos was a good man. Most women would kill to be in her sandals, but she wasn’t most women. She hated having decisions made for her and choices taken out of her hands. She hated feeling like she would make a mistake and embarrass herself and Thanos at any moment because of her ignorance. She hated not knowing if one dawn she would return home to an empty bed because he was now sleeping with his lover.
