Chapter 43: Kiss Me Goodnight
When Reagan entered the room, he met me in the same spot that I had been all morning. I was just sitting on the bed, I didn't cry, didn't move, didn't say a word. I just stared into space, willing myself not to cry and waiting out the pain in my chest to go away. Eventually the pain did go away, but now as Reagan came into this room, I could feel it start to slowly creep in.
"Hey." I greeted softly.
"Hey." Reagan responded gazing at me wearily as I stared up at him with a smile on my face. He walked into the room, taking tentative steps towards me, "I...I..."
For the first time in my life, I watched the bravest knight in the kingdom lose his ability to speak. Reagan opened his mouth, trying to find the right words to say in this situation. If he must be struggling like this, then it's no lie that Celeste is truly pregnant, she is with his heir.
"So you did sleep with her." I mumbled to myself looking down.
"I didn't touch her ever since we've been back." Reagan stated.
Since he's been be back? So if he didn't touch her then, since when? "When we you were out campaigning at the borders then."
"I'm sorry." Reagan whispered and I nodded my head, "Though I'm positive I didn't touch her, she wanted me to but I'm a man of my word. I may have been a jerk to you but I upheld our vows. The only reason I brought her was because I wanted to hurt you!"
I snorted in response, "Well you seem to be doing a very good job of that now."
