Marilyn needed to see how things would play out. She still cared about Carter. The attraction between them had never really vanished. They'd been great together...and as a woman, she owed it to herself to make sure they couldn't be again.
It was upsetting her that Rafe seemed to think this was about him..."This isn't about you, Rafe..." Her small frown was turning quickly into a full blown glare. "You might not feel bad for what WE did to Carter...but I do. He and I had been great together...Just because I fell in lo..." Marilyn stopped herself abruptly.
No, this conversation was over.
"We're going to take it day by day...and I'm sure we will go on dates..."
"This is about me? How can it not be?" Rafe was still in love with Marilyn and he always would be. It's like everything that they had just disappeared in an instant.
"Do you think I liked going behind Carter's back? It was awful and I asked for his forgiveness. But..." Rafe took her hands into his.
"The moment I met you I fell in love with... the connection I felt was...is the strongest and most certain think I've ever felt." He softly squeezed her hands. Rafe couldn't even remember why they couldn't be together.
"How can you give Carter a second chance, but not me?"
