She looked at me, studying me, trying to figure out if she could believe me.
“Had no intention?”
Those words wounded, hurt me deeply, but I couldn’t let that show.
“You will be with him,” I said.
I could see her relief, practically feel it, but I grabbed her chin, turned her to face me.
“But, Amethyst, don’t ever try to keep my child away from me again,” I said.
She looked at me, and then nodded.

“Uh-huh,” I responded.
“And aliens are going to invade tomorrow,” he said.

“You’re not. I told you this was exactly what I wanted to avoid. You’re distracted, and it probably has something to do with that bitch and her baby,” he said.
I snarled, my face twisting. “My baby, Elias. Out of respect, I’m going to overlook your insult. But don’t speak of her that way again,” I said.
“Are you threatening me?” He leaned back in his chair, showing off how at ease he was.
