Another la What I really want to do is throw myself in his aroing to happen That only happens in romance novels

"Everseriously, what are you doing here?" He sounds tired and if I was a betting woman, I'd bet he probably wants me to leave him alone by the tone of his voice

Okay It's tio all in

"Nix told me that he sent you the article I wrote I was kind of expecting to hear from you after you read it"

Linc rakes his hand through his hair, the sure sign of nervousness that I knoell He looks up at me, eyes so it"

Oh Now that hurts I almost turn around and walk out his front door This man is done with me and it was foolish for me to even try to win him back But the truth is, I ca and I can't let those words knock me off course

I decide to try a different tact

"I went to see my father"

Now there's a positive reaction Linc al ready to smile I mean, it never reaches his face, but I think there was a eht it may be

"We had a good talk And you were right He didn't try to justify his actions to me In fact, he told me there was no justification He just wanted to letI did wrong That he was just weak Then he apologized to me"

I was hoping this would stir Linc into some conversation, but he just stares ativeness It uess because I actually decided for once to look past my own hurt"

"Then what happened?" Finallysome interest from Linc

"I forgave himwith no hesitation"

Linc sits down on the couch and"That's quite the turnaround I didn't think you would ever do that"

I grip my hands in my lap and look down at them "I wouldn't have Had I not lost you"

I glance at him and he looks shocked "What do you mean?"

Taking a deep breath, I try to relax my hands I smooth them over my knees, terrified beyond belief that Linc will not listen to me "I really wish you'd readand pull out a copy, handing it to him

He doesn't take it "I'm not sure it willto move past you"

My eyes are pleading when I say, "But what if it does? What if it can make a difference?"

He just stares and me and doesn't reach for the paper in my hand I start to panic, because it's clear that Linc is not going to be swayed

"Fine," I say "I'll read it out loud And if you want to interruptme out"

He gives no reaction, but he doesn't throw me out

I read the title out loud first "How Linc Caldwell Made The Biggest Save Of All"

Glancing at hi tohis head against the cushion His eyes are closed

I push forward

"I am a complete idiot Let me first just say that Most of you have vilified o, proclaiuy
