But I can’t unsay them. I don’t want to unsay them.
“For God’s sake, Brock.” She steps into her shoes. “I’m not marrying you or anyone.”
“Ever?”
“Not today, anyway.”
I rub at my jawline. Has she forgotten she may be pregnant? Why isn’t she all over this? “Rory, where is this going, then? I mean…” I glance at her abdomen.
She sighs. “I just got out of a relationship, Brock. You know this. And I love you. I love you more than I loved Raine. I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone. But it’s too soon. How can you not see that?”
“How can you say it’s too soon when you might be pregnant with my kid?”
Her eyes widen.
I went a step too far.
“Rory… I’m sorry.”
“Oh, God…” She walks into my arms. “I’m the one who’s sorry.”
“You haven’t done anything to be sorry for.”
“The truth is, I love the idea. I just don’twantto love the idea.”
“Moving in? Getting married?”
“Both.” She sighs. “I love them both.”
“How long did it take Donny and Callie to fall in love?” I ask.
“Not long.”
“It didn’t take us long either.”
She pulls back and looks at me. “I feel like it’s not fair to you, to be honest.”
“How can it not be fair to me? It was my idea.”
“I know, but I don’t want people to say I married you on the rebound.”
“Who gives a fuck what people say? I don’t.”
“I really don’t either.” She shakes her head. “I gave up giving a fuck what people said years ago. You kind of have to when you’re bisexual.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
“It’s just too soon.”
“Rory, look at me.”
She meets my gaze, and my God, her eyes are beautiful. So loving and tortured and beautiful.
“Do you love me?” I ask.
“More than anything,” she says. “You know that. I love you so much, Brock.”
“And I love you. I’ve never been in love before, Rory. It’s all new to me. But I can’t imagine, for one moment, evernotbeing in love with you.”
