Nine Buck's Row (35 page)

“Didn't you know? From the moment I laid eyes on you, I've loved you.” His voice was harsh, angry. “I've fought it. God knows I've tried—I don't want to hurt you. I would, you know. I'd make you miserable—”

“Let go of me, Nicholas—”

“Once—once I might have been able to love you as you deserve to be loved. Now—you don't want me, Susannah. You don't want to endure the hell I'd put you through—”

“Can you actually believe that?” I said angrily.

“Susannah—”

I waited. The answer was blazing in my eyes.

“God help you,” he said grimly. “God help you—”

And then he pulled me into his arms.
