I shake my head. “You’re too late.”
“No, I’m not.”
I nod way too fast, as if trying to convince myself. “I’m happy, Ben.”
“I can make you happier. You know I can.”
The tears break the dam and I swipe them away angrily. “No! Stop it.” I shake my head. “Go back to where you came from. Go back to the girl who’s occupied your bed for the last five years when I haven’t. You had your chance and you blew it. You got one chance with me, Ben. You fucking blew it!”
I take three steps backward. I need to get away from him.
“I’m not leaving without you, Bridget,” he replies in his dominant voice—the same voice that brought me to heel so many times in the bedroom.
I shake my head in frustration. “You’re not leaving for where? I’m never leaving Australia, Ben. This is my home.”
His dark eyes hold mine. “Then I stay.”
