She was humiliated. All the warm sensations she'd been
feeling disappeared, leaving in their wake an icy cold emptiness. He'd rejected
her. She'd lost not only the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with,
but her best friend. Her heart broke. She pulled away from him, her eyes
swimming with tears. "I won't throw myself at you ever again."
He ran a trembling hand through his hair. "Sage, no,
please understand, baby. It has nothing to do with that other girl. I haven't
been with anyone else or even wanted to be with anyone else since I met you. It
hasn't been easy, but I'm waiting for our wedding night like you've always
wanted. I want it to be as special as you've dreamed it will be."
"It has everything to do with me." A tear spilled
from her eye. "There's nothing more to say. Maybe my new job on Monday is
an omen... a new beginning and a fresh start for the both of us—apart."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"Whatever you want it to mean." She glanced at her
hands, too ashamed to look him in the eye. "Please take me home, Ryan. I
have a splitting headache."
