He stared past her for a moment. “I guess I don’t want you to have that box, period. I want you to be willing to get rid of it to make room for me in your life.”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “You wouldn’t ask me to abandon Tim’s family, would you?”
He cocked his head. “You make it sound like they’re totally dependent on you.”
“That’s not what I meant at all.”
“What do you mean, Bree? Maybe you need to answer that question before you’re ready to have a relationship—with me or with anybody else.” He held her gaze as he pushed his chair back and rose. “I need to go meet a client.”
She watched him walk through the office. She raised a hand to her cheek and felt the heat emanating from her skin. He may as well have slapped her.
Maybe she wasn’t ready for this after all. When she’d first been able to even bring herself to think about a time when she might fall in love again and remarry, she’d fantasized that any man she could love would have to love Tim’s family. Would have to accept them and understand that they were and always would be a part of her life. She’d forgotten about that in the—was it excitement?—of falling for Aaron. But maybe this was God’s way of showing her she simply wasn’t ready to have someone new in her life. Or maybe it’s His way of saying, it’s time to move on. Away from the Whitmans.
She raked her fingers through her hair. Why did this have to be so confusing?
But maybe it didn’t have to be. Maybe Tim’s family would be just fine with the idea of her dating again. She felt sure they’d like Aaron if they ever met him. Maybe even be excited for her to have found a friend.
Or maybe it would crush them and make them feel like she’d betrayed them all.
