I want her to think I moved on.

The phrase rotated in Harvey's mind like a stuck record. It haunted him from the silence of his office into the solitude of his bed at night, and when morning came, it was still there. If she thought she was not the only option, maybe she would feel the squeeze. Maybe she would see what she was losing. Maybe she would come back.

He envisioned it like a chess move, one piece nudged forward to

  • He Asked for an Open Marriage, I Walked Away   Chapter 110: The Road Ahead

    "No." He shook his head once, sharp. "You're choosing them again. Even now.""I'm choosing to not let thousands of people die when I might be able to stop it," she said, voice trembling. "There's a difference."The monitor beside her began to beep faster. Neither of them looked at it.Nathan stood up slowly, raking a hand through his hair as he moved to the window. Dawn was breaking outside, but the light felt wrong—too pale, too indifferent.He spoke without turning around. "If this goes wrong... if we lose the baby because of this mission you couldn't walk away from..." His voice dropped to a whisper. "I don't know if I'll be able to look at you the same way."The silence that followed was heavier than any words.Ashley pressed both hands over her stomach, eyes burning. "Then I guess we'll find out who we really are when this is over."The agents opened the door and stepped back inside the room. "The medical team is ready to move you," the lead man said. "We have a wheelchair and an

    The room was silent, except for the quiet, hollow silence of fear. After all that had occurred, the room seemed empty, but the residual of what had almost gone wrong hung heavily in the air.Ashley rested against the pillow, her hand covering her stomach. The steady beat of the monitor beside her provided the only sounds filling the room.Nathan stood at the window, with his back to the room. He hadn't moved for some time."Hey Nate," Ashley said softly.There wasn't an immediate response. Finally Nathan turned and his facial appearance was unlike anything Ashley had seen before. It wasn't cold or distant. It simply showed a type of fatigue that Ashley had never observed previously."You should be resting," he said."I'm resting," Ashley replied. "You're the one that's been sitting there for hours."Slowly Nathan got up from the window and returned to the bedside. His eyes lowered to her hand which covered her stomach."I nearly lost both of you," he said quietly.Ashley shook her hea

  • He Asked for an Open Marriage, I Walked Away   Chapter 108: What Remained

    Nathan sat in a cold, stiff plastic chair outside the emergency room, his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped together so tightly they ached. He wasn't aware of the ache; he hadn't realized anything except the solid door to the emergency room in front of him, and the sound of his breathing – uneven, and shallow.A nurse passed by. Then another. Each time the door swung open, Nathan's head jerked upward.Still nothing.Nathan laid his hands across his face. Only hours before, he hadn't known he'd become a father. And now, the fact that he almost lost the potential fatherhood of their unborn child weighed in his chest, a burden he couldn't budge."Our baby

    Nathan's face hardened. "I remember him.""He disappeared after that mission failed," Jake said. "There was no proof of death, just nothing else."Nathan leaned in. "Do you think he did this?""I think he never quit trying," Jake said.Jake paused for a moment, then continued with care."You were taken to a field hospital to get treatment after you were injured," Jake said. "They took some of your blood, so you would have been unable to see anything unusual."Nathan swallowed. He remembered the pain. The haze. The people."And Kimberly," Nathan said s

    Jake stared at the same computer screen for nearly an hour.In a strange way, the office felt silent; the air conditioning hummed lightly; the city lights outside the windows flashed like faint messages. He rubbed his face with both hands and leaned forward to scroll back to the top of the file."Come on," he mumbled. "You don't just appear like that."The file belonged to Nathan. It was very old. It came from Nathan's deployment several years ago, one of the toughest tours. Jake had read it before, years ago, when it was first put into the archives. At that point, it looked perfectly normal. Now it didn't.He clicked on the lab portion and froze."That ID does

    He grabbed her and kissed her repeatedly. "You do," he said. "You make me feel like the luckiest bastard alive."He picked her up easily and brought her upstairs to the steps where he sat with her on top of him, still semi-erect and ready to go again."I love you," he said softly, moving her slowly against him. "I love you so fucking much.""I love you too," she replied softly, kissing him softly now. The urgency was gone, replaced by a deeper sense of tenderness.Upstairs, behind them, another glass broke on Kimberly's floor.But downstairs, in the pool, Nathan and Ashley couldn't hear anything.All they
