"You were living a perfectly fine life, only to be told you suddenly had a wife. Anyone would have a hard time accepting that."
She wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, whispering into his ear. "When it comes to this marriage, I'm the one who owes you."
"Once I find a way to break The Binding, I'll give you back your freedom so you can ride off into the sunset with the woman you love."
"But like I said, just don't let me catch you cheating before then. Because if I find out..." She ran a finger across his throat in a lethal motion. "You'll meet a very gruesome end."
Leaving him with that threat, she strode away on her long legs.
To hell with riding off into the sunset! Left ruthlessly alone in the dining room, Andres mentally cursed Simon Grover and his ancestors for the hundredth time.
If Simon hadn't decided to gossip on the phone, he wouldn't be dealing with this misunderstanding. Even after knowing Maeve for this long, Andres still couldn't figure out how she felt about him.
If he assumed she didn't care, she would always step in to fix his problems, no matter the cost. But if he assumed she did care, she acted like an indifferent audience member whenever his past came up. She never got involved, never asked questions, and showed zero curiosity. That wasn't how a woman in love behaved.
