Staking His Claim
A little gold bracelet was wrapped around the child’s wrist. Michael took her for a closer look once Benjamin had left. He could see her name written on the bracelet. Emma’s brown eyes had always struck him as familiar, and he had only recently discovered why. As a result, he was filled with rage and the want to take it away from the girl; but, he reasoned that if he pulled it off gently, he wouldn’t damage her.
Don’t Be Hasty
Instead of approaching Monica, he paused to reflect and reassess the issue. It’s possible she was so wounded by their split that she thought saying something like that would be disastrous. They had been so in tune with each other’s sentiments for so long that he had never contemplated the notion of cheating. Could she say something similar? It worked all night in his heart.
