“I haven’t been your Lennon since high school, Easton. That’s what you wanted, remember?”
“I never wanted that,” he fires back, reaching up to cup my jaw. I wait for him to elaborate further, but he doesn’t, leaving the words hanging between us.
“How are we supposed to go from barely talking to being married, and make it believable?”
“We have history, Lennon. Everyone in town grew up watching us together. Is it really so hard to believe we might find our way back to each other? We can tell everyone that the baby is mine. It’s the perfect story. Plus, having a baby on the way would only strengthen my case for wanting to stay local for work.”
Hearing him say these words is making me grow emotional because I never imagined him being the one to come up with an idea like this. And of course, I miss our friendship too. The closest we got back to that was after my father’s heart attack, but then he left again and the distance he worked so hard to put between us returned.
Uh, you played a part in that distance too, Lennon. Remember?
“I—I need to think about this,” I manage to reply just as his hand drops from my jaw.
Nodding, he takes a step back, but the softness in the lines of his face remain. “Okay. But don’t take too long, please. My boss wants me to leave on Monday.”
“You want me to decide something like this that soon?”
“I don’t really know why you need to think about it, but yes, I need an answer tomorrow.”
I shake my head. “You’re insane.”
“No, I’m just a man, standing in front of a woman, asking her to marry me so I can take care of her.”
