He slides his fingers over my chin, cautiously asking, "What would ya think about living in New York?"
"Full-time?"
"Aye."
I stare at him, feeling torn. I do love New York, but I also love Ireland. Part of me feels ashamed to say that I would want to live in New York over Ireland. It's almost as if I'm somehow being a traitor.
His face falls. He questions, "Ya wouldn't want to live in New York?"
I reply, "I didn't say that. I just... I haven't thought about it."
He tilts his head. "You've never thought about it?"
"Not really. This is a lot for me to take in. I'm sure wherever we are, it'd be fine," I lie.
"But ya don't want to live in New York," he pushes.
"I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth," I assert.
He sighs.
I question, "Ya don't like Ireland?"
"I think I've told ya I like the city better."
"Ya did. But if we had to stay there forever, ya would be upset? Even if I was with ya?" I bat my eyelashes.
He chuckles. "No, I wouldn't be upset if ya were there. But ultimately, I would like to be in New York full-time."
I glance over at Tully. "Would your da even let ya do that?"
"I don't know. It's just a thought. Let's not worry about it right now," Tynan states, then sits back.
Silence fills the air, except for Tully's snoring.
I study my husband, and I can tell he's full of emotions. There's stress in his expression, no doubt from what's happened and the mess he'll have to clean up. But I also know the living situation is affecting him.
Deep down, there's no doubt that he wants to be in New York. And I wonder again if I would fit in. Arianna was in town when I was there, and it was fun. But I don't know how long she'll actually be there.
A million thoughts run through my mind.
Who will I have if I'm in New York and I don't have her as a friend? Anyone?
How will I make friends?
What would I do on my own?
Tynan turns my chin toward him. "Ya look like you're lost in thought."
I snap out of it, not wanting to tell him anything I'm worrying about. It's so minuscule when he has so much to deal with when we arrive in Belfast.
Instead, I quickly glance at Tully. Once I'm assured he's still asleep, I slide my hand onto Tynan's cock and I smirk. "I was just wondering why we're sitting here when there's so many things we could be doing."
His lips twitch. "Ah, we're back to ya wanting to join the mile-high club, huh?"
I glance at Tully once more. He snores deeply and then silence fills the air. I blurt out, "He's holding his breath."
Tynan grunts. "Tell me something I don't know."
