Embracing Love (Tainted Love Book 3)
Page 19
She needed more Robitussen; her headache was back and the shivers had started up again. She’d thought she was getting better. Getting over it. And now she had something much bigger to get over, not just a fever.
She lay on the couch, sniffling into her Kleenex, her mind a whirlwind of despair, she kept thinking back to the past few months. They hadn’t been all warm and happy. They’d had constant rows, many to do with the wedding preparations. But sometimes more to do with Connor’s work, the fact that he’d be away when she needed him at weekends to finalize the flower arrangements, or to design the cake. Other wedding things he had effectively managed to dodge.
Why hadn’t she seen the warning signs then? They seemed so clear now that she looked back, with the great gift of hindsight.
Because even though they had been together for nearly three years, if Ava really analyzed their relationship, she and Connor had started to drift apart during the last six months.
These had been defining times for their relationship, and deep in her very core her soul had known that somehow, maybe, something wasn’t quite right.
She had seen Connor become something that he had never been in all the time she had known him: distant. And the distance had increased the closer the wedding date loomed.
Now with only six weeks to go, maybe the pressure had gotten too much. Maybe it was her doing? She pushed him too much? After all, he was a corporate lawyer and he had great demands. Had she driven him to this?
Ava blew her nose again and briefly wondered whether she should go and sleep in her bedroom. It was such a trivial thing to think about; there was comfort in thinking about small things. But she couldn’t summon the willpower to move her body. Instead, she closed her eyes.
