The things fear makes us say

Chapter Eighty-OneAndrea's POV“Tristan, calm down. Let me explain.”My hands shake as I quickly pull my skirt back into place.He turns toward me so sharply that I freeze. “Don't fucking tell me to calm down.”The anger in his voice cuts through me.I stare at him. For a second, I don't recognize the man standing in front of me.A few minutes ago, he'd been looking at me like I was the only thing in the world worth paying attention to. Now his entire body is tense, his jaw clenched so tightly I can see the muscle jumping beneath his skin.“How could you be so reckless?”“I wasn't trying to be reckless.”“How long?”I blink. “What?”His eyes flash. “How fucking long, Andrea?”I swallow.The answer suddenly feels heavier than it should.“Like... a week.”His face changes. “Fucking hell.”“Tristan–”“A week?” He runs both hands through his hair and turns away from me. “You've been off your pills for a fucking week?”“I forgot.”“You forgot?”His voice rises.“I fucking almost ca–” He

Tristan, I'm not pregnant. I can't be. Trying it again tomorrow will just be a waste of my strength and the kits.”“I'm the one paying for them.”I narrow my eyes at him.“And I don't mind.”I sigh, already giving up. “Just forget it. Why am I even trying to reason with you?”Turning around, I head back into the bathroom.Oh, right. I haven't even properly mentioned where we are yet.We're not staying in a regular hotel room.
