She ignored my statement. “What happened after college?”
“I worked my life away until you came back in it.”
“I think all the models on your arm would beg to differ, Mr. Hawkins.”
“They were meaningless.”
“I’m sure they didn’t think that.”
“They knew what they were getting themselves into.”
“Because of the press?”
“Because I never lied about any expectations when it came to them.”
“You know you have a type. Always blonde hair, blue eyes.”
I lifted a piece of her hair. “Where do you think that stems from?”
She smiled. “You always know the right things to say.”
“It’s called honesty.”
“Okay, Mr. Honesty, how many kids do you want?”
I jerked back, surprised by her question.
“I mean, I should know what you anticipate from me.”
I didn’t hesitate in responding, “I want four.”
“Four?” Her eyes widened.
“I’m the only child. I’d love to have a big family with you.”
“I see that.”
“How many do you want?”
She shrugged. “I’ve never really thought about it. Let’s see how it goes with one baby, and we can go from there, okay?” She swallowed hard, licking her lips. “Do you want a boy or a girl?”
“I’d like a baby girl who looks exactly like you.”
She blushed.
“How many girls and boys do you want?”
“Two of each.”
“I like that dynamic.”
Unable to hold back, I questioned, “Do you want to be pregnant?”
“I don’t have a choice. It’s in the contract.”
“That’s not what I asked.”
She inhaled a deep breath. “At first I wasn’t happy with the idea.”
