Kate Hewitt - The Marakaios Baby

Some sacrifices, she reminded herself grimly, were necessary. And maybe it would be better this way. Without the complication and risk of loving someone, you could never be hurt. Hopefully.

She rose from her chair, blinking back dizziness. Even so Leo must have seen something in her expression, for he reached forward and steadied her elbow with his hand. It was the first time he’d touched her in three months, since he’d made love to her against the window and then walked away.

‘I’m fine,’ she said, and shook off his hand. ‘Just a little dizzy when I stand up, that’s all.’

‘I’ll arrange for someone to show you to the guest suite,’ Leo said.

He was frowning, although over her dizziness or the whole situation she didn’t know. Couldn’t think. He was right: she really wasn’t in a fit state to travel.

She stood, swaying slightly, as Leo made arrangements on his phone. Then he ended the call and gave her one last, hard look.

‘I’ll see you tomorrow,’ he said, and Margo knew it was a dismissal.
