“I said the baby died too.”
My throat tightened.
“Why?”
“I’d already lost her. I couldn’t lose you.”
I stared at him.
“So you made sure he lost both of us.”
He started crying.
I wanted to comfort him.
That scared me most.
“I love you,” I said. “But you don’t get forgiven just because I love you.”
I rolled toward the door.
“Maisie…”
“I can’t be near you right now.”
“I love you.”
