His other hand dug into his pocket and pulled out a small, red crushed velvet box. Priscilla wanted to throw up again. "I was going to wait until your birthday next week but considering the circumstances. I love you. Will you marry me?" Rex opened the box. A gigantic, round, platinum banded diamond stared back at her. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNHyvIwcRt
Priscilla put her head in her hands and cried. Over the past day, she'd spent at least 24 of the past 48 hours crying. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDczKHzSTB
Rex touched her hair, his heart racing hoping he didn't upset her too much and wanting her with all his heart to say yes. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj0DXzZHCU
"Babe. Are you okay?" He kissed the top of her head. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkOEAfcPBo
She looked up at him. Her eyes red with tears and dark with circles. "No, Rex." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkd8ZC6TXb
His heart sank. Rex sat the box down on the couch. The white of the sofa making the bright red box appear like even more of an eyesore. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfIHcuPm9O
Priscilla had to admit it was a beautiful ring. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPOCfWfTgK
"No you're not okay or no you're not going to marry me?" His voice dropped at the last portion of his question. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhN8qunOOa
"How could you do this?" Priscilla knew it wasn't the reaction he was looking for. Her emotions were running at full speed and she felt out of control. "This is too much." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rq32ZV3XW
All Rex wanted to hear was a simple word. Yes. Yes Rex Harper I'll marry you and have your children and we'll be happy forever. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLP5qDaF6r
Rex sighed, wanting to cry himself. Something he'd only done twice in his life. When his mother died and again when Daisy died. A part of him wondered if Priscilla was worth his tears. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rzEg1Ug7f
"What's wrong? Please tell me." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BfClO91IZ
The sound of his voice broke her heart. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wRZ16scjt
"I'm sorry, Rex. This isn't what I want." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtvGGo03q2
"What do you mean?" 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh9EgLPvAR
"A husband. Babies. All that." She said as if she were referring to condiments and not human beings. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cRw9hYbNT
"I see. You mean you don't want that with me or with anyone?" 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTJGSFMsj6
"Not sure. This wasn't supposed to happen."1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSXFFNSMzj
"But it does happen. All the time. People get married. They have babies. They get married because they're going to have a baby. It's life." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXE9k8uaSl
Priscilla ignored him. Life was crapping all over her. It wasn't all pretty weddings and cute babies; sometimes your wife gets murdered and you get knocked up. "You never answered me." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhjAaW8G2Y
As much as he didn't want to hear it. He had to. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiLn7UyEFP
"You were going to propose to me. On my birthday? You love me?"She gave him a quizzical glance. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3babm0hQlj
Rex's head fell down. He couldn't even look her in the eye. The more she talked, the more he couldn't stand the sight of her. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoZ1wzO3Xw
"Yes." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQ1tO27Qm
"Oh." She was fidgety and her tense body language making Rex even more uncomfortable. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIipGOoE7L
"That's all you can say? Has this not meant anything to you? Do I not mean anything to you?" Rex felt like he'd drank on an empty stomach. This was by far one of the worst moments of his life. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPiZU3qF1u
"Of course you do, Rex. Yes. You mean the world to me. This just isn't what I want. Maybe someday. But right here, right now. No." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaKrRItSRA
"Is this something I did or didn't do?" Rex had to know. "Don't hold back. I'm a big boy. I can take it." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbBao4FzDU
Priscilla touched his cheek. "No. Not at all. You're incredible and not who I thought I would ever be with." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Dou3fVpx
"What's that supposed to mean?" 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTghts0vezj
She dropped her hand from his cheek. "Well that's your past with Alex. My friend." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kphj46P1j
Rex looked confused. "Is that a problem? It hasn't been so far." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNTy7dljpu
"No. Not for what we have now but I can't marry my friend's ex-husband." She sounded appalled by the notion. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iQYfO4tAp
"Since when do you care about a thing like that?" Rex surprised by her impromptu concern for social decorum. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrwLsC3Tui
"I don't think it's a good idea." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVktid7CE4
Rex knew all he needed to and didn't want to talk to her anymore. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUrMIVUXFL
"Since you won't marry me I guess you'll be getting rid of the baby?"1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIox7AyQ49n
"Jesus. Don't say it like that. Yes. I saw the doctor this morning." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxkWC8jzq1
"I'm sure Hartley will cover for you." This wasn't the first time Rex had been in this situation. "Besides I knew." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa9AAvV9RG
"You knew? How?" Priscilla looked at him, amazed at his inquisitiveness. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7nGEsdsp6
"I've been through this before. I know the signs." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNLs5K70ur
"Well I guess you would. Hadn't thought about that." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JqJKwleQ0
"I wouldn't expect you to." 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMUOA9BWQq
The atmosphere between them insufferable. Their fleeting sentences so unlike their relationship. "I don't know what else to say to you, Priscilla. I'm leaving." Rex stood up, placing the ring in his pocket and headed towards her door without looking back. 1271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpY6O7EMCL
