“And you’re right that we made a good team,” he
continued. “Do you ever think it might be worth giving us another shot?”
Her heart thundered, but she refused to let her
emotions rule her decision.
“Me running the therapies here, while you run
everything else and have no time for us on a personal level? No, Ian, I don’t.”
Honesty lent conviction to her words and allowed her to meet his intense blue
eyes. “I don’t practice physical therapy anymore. I’m busy running Three
Surgeons Prosthetics.”
He turned in front of her and stopped walking, forcing
her to stop, too. “I know we can’t go back to how things were. I’m not asking you
to give up the life you’ve created. I’m just trying to understand who you are now
and how you’ve changed since we were together.”
Armina opened her mouth, but found she had no words. She
had no intention of sharing the goal that had driven her every decision over
the past year. To have a baby before time ran out, she needed his cooperation
to ensure a quick divorce.
“I’ve moved on,” she finally said, not sure she spoke
the truth but hoping she did or at least that the words would soon come true. She
needed to move on. The next chapter of her life couldn’t be put on hold.
“I’m not asking you to stop moving on. I just need you
to give me a moment to sprint to catch up to you.”
