“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 triedâI don't want to hurt you. I would, you know. I'd make you miserableâ”

“Let go of me, Nicholasâ”

“Onceâonce I might have been able to love you as you deserve to be loved. Nowâyou don't want me, Susannah. You don't want to endure the hell I'd put you throughâ”

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

“Susannahâ”

I waited. The answer was blazing in my eyes.

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

And then he pulled me into his arms.
