CHAPTER TEN

HE WANTED HER BACK.

Before West had revealed how he felt and didn’t feel about her, Lia had harbored quiet fantasies of getting back together. But since then, even knowing that she’d only days ago questioned why he hadn’t wanted to keep seeing her and see if love developed, standing on the other side of it felt different. Scary.

Saying yes would mean entering an unequal relationship, where she loved him, but he didn’t, and may never love her back. How long was she supposed to even give that kind of a trial?

She didn’t want to be that stupid again, and had already proven she couldn’t even correctly identify love. She confused it with general happiness, and probably lust. Would she ever be able to believe him if he said the words to her again?

“I don’t want to sound cruel, and I don’t want to have a fight in the clinic, but I won’t lead you on, either. I don’t know why you want me back when you’ve been very clear that you never loved me. I didn’t realize it before, I didn’t think anyone would propose without love, so I believed it. But the truth is I don’t have any idea what that feels like.”

“What what feels like?”

“Being loved. You say you want me, and I believe you do because want doesn’t require more than physical connection—something we’re very good at.” Or had been before. They’d been too wounded and cagey since she’d returned to do more than feel things, and then stuff them away. “But you don’t love me, so I don’t know. I need to think about it, about whether we can have something healthy and happy.” She licked her lips and shook her head. “I’m glad you’re here. I don’t really believe that you came back for me, but I am glad you’re here.”

“When I said—”

“No,” she cut him off. “I don’t want to talk about this more right now. You need to eat and get a walk in before I’m willing to discharge you.” She opened her mouth to say more, but a loud, frantic cry for help from the lobby took precedence, and sent her sluggish heart back into instant overdrive.

Without another word, she turned and ran toward the voice.
