Chapter 10 The Bold Attack

EMBER's POV

"me? Presumptuous? You have some audacity." Paris said and stalked off, only to walk back to me, "That's a lot, coming from a woman dressed the way you are."

I looked down at myself and then back at him, "what do you mean by that?"

"Are you going to deny that you are here, dressed this way, with no desire to get my attention? With no desire to drive me mad with want?"

“why would I do that? Why would I put so much effort into a man who barely noticed me when we lived together? How much more when we're supposed to be apart?"

"Come on, don't talk like that.”

“Well, did you ever for once, notice me or care about me?”

“Of course I cared for you, Ember. I know that I was not the perfect husband, but there wasn’t a thing I wouldn’t do for you. Even now, before this entire thing started, I was working on that orphanage.”

“What?” I asked in confusion.
