“I don’t know. I need to think about this,” she stated frankly.
Though he didn’t necessarily like her answer, he decided not to pressure her. He’d give her some time to think about it, then see where that got him. He had a tenacious nature and wasn’t one to give up easily if something was important to him.
That had a lot to do with his past. It hadn’t been easy getting past abandonment and growing up in foster care. Justin had never been fortunate enough to live with a family who cared about him.
He hadn’t stayed with any one family very long. There had always been a reason to get rid of him, no matter how hard he’d tried to fit in. He’d been too young or too old, too reserved or too much trouble. At a very early age he’d learned to look out for himself.
He should thank Miranda for instilling in him a drive to make something of himself. In a perverse way, her abandoning him as a baby had implanted the motivation to become independent and successful.
“All right.” He stared at her a moment, then reached for her hand. He was both surprised and pleased when he realized she still wore his ring. He touched it, then watched the large, tear-shaped diamond sparkle in the light from the window. She drew her hand away, and he frowned. “I’ll call you tomorrow.”
Heather pressed her lips together as she followed him to the door. “No,” she said quickly, wanting to control their next meeting. “I have school and a meeting afterward. I’ll call you. Where will you be?”
Reaching inside his jacket, he extracted a business card. “You know the office number. This has the number of my apartment, as well as my digital.”
Heather studied the card as he opened the door. “All right, I’ll call you after school tomorrow.”
Justin nodded, then stepped outside. He hesitated, then turned back toward her. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Heather watched him get into his Mercedes and drive away. As he disappeared from sight, she sagged against the door, her strength zapped.
Justin’s visit had blindsided her. Even a tornado wouldn’t have caused such havoc in her life.
Was she losing her mind? She’d actually told him she’d think about his proposition—that she’d consider giving their marriage another try.
Did she really want to?
A long time ago she’d loved Justin. Could she learn to love him again?
