‘I want a husband who will be proud of me and my career. Who won’t care that I’m on call and he might need to reorganise his life around me. Who’ll help around the house and not expect a wife who’ll cook him dinner. Public Health may well have to do investigations into my cooking skills.’
She was enjoying herself now, taking it too far. But he had to know. He had to know just how fast to run.
‘I will never accept anything less. I’ve been the child of a duty marriage. I would never, ever do that to my child. It’s a form of torture. Growing up feeling guilty? It’s awful.’ She pressed her hands on her stomach again. ‘My child—’ she emphasised the word ‘—is going to grow up feeling loved, blessed and, above all, wanted. By me, at least. There will be rules. There will be discipline. But most of all, there will be love.’
She walked back up to stand right in front of him. ‘Whoever loves me will know how much I love Christmas, will want to celebrate it with me every year. Will know the songs I love, the crazy carols I love to sing. They won’t care that I spend hours wrapping presents that are opened in seconds, they won’t care that I buy more Christmas decorations than there is space for on the tree, they won’t care that I have to have a special kind of cake every Christmas Eve and spend a fortune trying to find it. They’ll know that I would only ever get married at Christmas. They would never even suggest anything else.’
She took a deep breath and finally looked at him—really looked at him.
Yip, she’d done it. He looked as if she’d just run over him with an Edinburgh tram. This time she lowered her voice. ‘You might be a prince. You might have a castle. But I want the fairy tale. And you can’t give it to me.’
And with that, she turned and walked away.
