Chapter 72

“Then I find another job. I’m a damn good lawyer. Any other firm would be happy to have me.”

I nodded. But I had one more question before I was satisfied. I took a deep breath and squeezed his hand. “What happens now?”

“Now we bring some dinner to your place, eat in our underwear, and torture you with some horror on television.”

I huffed out a reluctant chuckle. “Not what I meant.”

“I know. What do you want to happen now?” His eye twitched, telling me he was as emotional as I was.

“If we do this, I need to know that you won’t bail on me again. I can’t…I can’t go through that one more time.” He opened his mouth to speak, but I held up my free hand. “No, let me finish, please.” Vee nodded. “I know I need to do better, too. And if I take you for granted or neglect your emotions, I need you to tell me. I don’t ever want to make you feel ignored or let down. It’s…it’s important to me.”
