Chapter 56: MY HEART WAS BREAKING: NOAH

Maggie sat on the edge of the bed and instead of sitting beside her, I pulled a chair across and sat directly facing her.

"You know I love you with all my heart, right?" My tone sounded desperate for her to believe me.

"It's okay, Noah. There's no need to apologize. I guess both our feelings were running high yesterday," she said, thinking I was going to talk about me leaving her the way I had.

"Oh, honey, there is every need and I believe me I'm sorry, but that isn't what this is about."She frowned, puzzled at what else it could be. "You know you told me about that reporter who had been fishing about Shona?" I asked with my heart pounding in my chest.

"Yeah," she replied slowly. Her eyes narrowed when she eyed me with suspicion.

"I have something to say about that, but before I do, I need to ask you something. Do you trust me?"

Maggie's eyes raked over my face as if trying to decide if she trusted me enough.

"Yeah, Noah."

"Good," I said and exhaled loudly.
