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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFQO0325Ox
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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU61q9jmXOb
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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOwdowcxbF
"Babe. Are you okay?" He kissed the top of her head. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2mIYgKXJS
She looked up at him. Her eyes red with tears and dark with circles. "No, Rex." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr33a3dWBpQ
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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwRCd6qkDD
Priscilla had to admit it was a beautiful ring. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyrgRanbEx
"No you're not okay or no you're not going to marry me?" His voice dropped at the last portion of his question. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWF2vUxvT9
"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." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ByMc6pRaJ
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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPBeacqyVn
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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVOkixyvW
"What's wrong? Please tell me." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMONDMJnX6h
The sound of his voice broke her heart. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv8ANJ0sE5
"I'm sorry, Rex. This isn't what I want." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwynwQJaHKA
"What do you mean?" 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6PyqZtWGW
"A husband. Babies. All that." She said as if she were referring to condiments and not human beings. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF60G74b4PD
"I see. You mean you don't want that with me or with anyone?" 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qzSG5A1xq
"Not sure. This wasn't supposed to happen."1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwEOVxZIUL
"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." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGI9zzjCcK
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." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzDR5p7dX4
As much as he didn't want to hear it. He had to. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUOnrENmn1
"You were going to propose to me. On my birthday? You love me?"She gave him a quizzical glance. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1F6ulpPjx
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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmg0b1ciEn
"Yes." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBUEJlKXfQ
"Oh." She was fidgety and her tense body language making Rex even more uncomfortable. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhCJC4glLn
"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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS32RF8na6c
"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." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP5nXyHHkW
"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." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QqcxxgK81
Priscilla touched his cheek. "No. Not at all. You're incredible and not who I thought I would ever be with." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziqr87AECF
"What's that supposed to mean?" 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiOGPDMFVq
She dropped her hand from his cheek. "Well that's your past with Alex. My friend." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtwaMFtvuK
Rex looked confused. "Is that a problem? It hasn't been so far." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq0mKMWday
"No. Not for what we have now but I can't marry my friend's ex-husband." She sounded appalled by the notion. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rmfrF0Vxa
"Since when do you care about a thing like that?" Rex surprised by her impromptu concern for social decorum. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fAsUBxmey
"I don't think it's a good idea." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaqRfaQpA9
Rex knew all he needed to and didn't want to talk to her anymore. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9aOByCC9D
"Since you won't marry me I guess you'll be getting rid of the baby?"1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ZTQrXign
"Jesus. Don't say it like that. Yes. I saw the doctor this morning." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36QXI3ZWLc
"I'm sure Hartley will cover for you." This wasn't the first time Rex had been in this situation. "Besides I knew." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw88qK6zrW
"You knew? How?" Priscilla looked at him, amazed at his inquisitiveness. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ETi0w9sgm
"I've been through this before. I know the signs." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHo8jtX8f3
"Well I guess you would. Hadn't thought about that." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapX3gV9Stn
"I wouldn't expect you to." 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxffY4EmE8L
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. 1565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOy4PcJbAU
