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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXu6eOt8O2
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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOmEXSqTYs
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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBGEs4qQet
"Babe. Are you okay?" He kissed the top of her head. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMcq3Bcr8i
She looked up at him. Her eyes red with tears and dark with circles. "No, Rex." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXXc0aCcme
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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnMDvLDo48
Priscilla had to admit it was a beautiful ring. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mnmGuQz1R
"No you're not okay or no you're not going to marry me?" His voice dropped at the last portion of his question. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6bCC0LzOq
"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." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMdInuW72M
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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4yuETQYwK
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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsecbFc98g
"What's wrong? Please tell me." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdjGjYs9OV
The sound of his voice broke her heart. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxlPaXuT77
"I'm sorry, Rex. This isn't what I want." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ321Qm9l7Xv
"What do you mean?" 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TXoyGZcX8
"A husband. Babies. All that." She said as if she were referring to condiments and not human beings. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwOtPjt2mE
"I see. You mean you don't want that with me or with anyone?" 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpLzFqycu2
"Not sure. This wasn't supposed to happen."1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDGZYzc2vY
"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." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbLRozFC5e
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." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8B7CDf8m
As much as he didn't want to hear it. He had to. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vUXs7p732
"You were going to propose to me. On my birthday? You love me?"She gave him a quizzical glance. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT9KpjwRPR
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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlboiHlhi5G
"Yes." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1biYobFVq
"Oh." She was fidgety and her tense body language making Rex even more uncomfortable. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUJfkbcU0G
"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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGfCUP5YI2
"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." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4aO5EAozY
"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." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHBNgRhGRo
Priscilla touched his cheek. "No. Not at all. You're incredible and not who I thought I would ever be with." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaD6yt6m9s
"What's that supposed to mean?" 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKP8chEzMj
She dropped her hand from his cheek. "Well that's your past with Alex. My friend." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvJ0rxqsa0
Rex looked confused. "Is that a problem? It hasn't been so far." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNmO3stUOi
"No. Not for what we have now but I can't marry my friend's ex-husband." She sounded appalled by the notion. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuPNZTiCHC
"Since when do you care about a thing like that?" Rex surprised by her impromptu concern for social decorum. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtzlTjp4Q2
"I don't think it's a good idea." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37kNNFlL6U
Rex knew all he needed to and didn't want to talk to her anymore. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFiDieVg5E
"Since you won't marry me I guess you'll be getting rid of the baby?"1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwSnMVHADu
"Jesus. Don't say it like that. Yes. I saw the doctor this morning." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9za99qLy78
"I'm sure Hartley will cover for you." This wasn't the first time Rex had been in this situation. "Besides I knew." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMHCdZm2hN
"You knew? How?" Priscilla looked at him, amazed at his inquisitiveness. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAfmeHWasR
"I've been through this before. I know the signs." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXXgWJVEA6
"Well I guess you would. Hadn't thought about that." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnivKTTq6PK
"I wouldn't expect you to." 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkmpvD4L03
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. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhwZnBs5U
