“No offense, Brennan, but you’re not exactly twenty-five anymore—”
My lips twisted. “Thank you.”
Her cheeks turned a charming shade of pink. “I just mean, well, he can’t think you’d let him lead you around? Wouldn’t he have done that already if that were the case?”
“He’s tried to get me and Aidan to marry in the past, but we never bit, and we always managed to get out of it.”
“He must have let you.”
“I think...” I pursed my lips. “This is a deep conversation for a public restaurant.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.” She grimaced. “I thought it was open season for questions.”
I shrugged, because she wasn’t wrong. Ihadjust asked her about her virginity over sashimi. “No need to apologize. Most things where the family is concerned are deep unfortunately.” I heaved a sigh. “Anyway, I’m the one who’s sorry. I didn’t expect tonight to go well, but I didn’t think we’d be leaving as soon as we got there.”
“Everyone knows his reputation,” she pointed out gently. “He’s renowned for being volatile.”
“And he’s getting worse,” I muttered, squeezing her thigh. “I mean it though, Camille. I’m sorry.”
Her smile was gentle as she caught my eye. “Thank you, Brennan. It’s not your fault though.”
No, it wasn’t, but I’d spent a lifetime paying for my father’s mistakes and his volatile temper. It was second nature to apologize for it, and even more important that I did so to the woman I’d be stuck with for the rest of my life.
