‘We already knoe don’t work’
‘I’ll e one last chance We live as a married couple for the next teeks and if by New Year’s Eve you still feel the same, I will not contest the divorce and we can both start our lives again’
‘Why?’ she asked, her brows furrowing in suspicion ‘You don’t love me You told me that in no uncertain terms’
Lisa looked at Max as his eyes met hers across the small space of his office Her heart flipped over and her stomach fluttered just as it always had done when he’d looked at her like that For her it was all about being in love, but for hi different
‘Because we have created a child, our child, and e it to that child to at least try’ His words confir the right thing

‘Nothing else?’ He taunted her and she stopped, her breathing deep and fast as she looked steadfastly at the door of his apartment, her escape She wouldn’t turn round, couldn’t look at him
‘No’ She shook her head and took the final steps to the door but before she could open it Max was in front of her ‘Nothing’
‘But there is so now,’ he said all too calmly ‘Our child’
