Just as I turned to walk away, he grabbed my wrist hard.
“Zoe, I’ll never let you leave me again. My only mission today is to take you and the baby home. You don’t understand. When I thought I’d lost you, I nearly went insane!

How laughable. Who was he even trying to fool with this sudden act of devotion?
I yanked my arm free with all my strength.
