“No, you can’t!” Her eyes widened and she closed the distance between them to grip his hands, her fingers ice cold. “You were my last hope, Sam.” She stood up taller, closer, her belly brushing against him. After all this time, he still wanted to pull her to him, and it took all his willpower not to recoil from her touch.
“What do you want from me, Wynter? Can’t you see how hard it is to see you again? Why are you doing this to me?” He couldn’t look away from her charcoal eyes, welling up with tears.
“You promised me, Sam. You promised.” The last word was nearly unintelligible as the tears spilled out and down her cheeks.
The desperation in her terrified stare, the desolation in her voice. Coming here had not been an easy decision for her. Suddenly it came rushing back to him, memories from a time he’d locked away. Sitting on the window bench together in Wynter’s bedroom, the window he’d climbed through many times. Holding her hands much like she was holding his now. He’d promised her that if she ever needed him, no matter what, he’d be there for her. She’d come to collect on that promise.
