“I simply didn’t want to argue with you.” Their conversation was going nowhere, and the more they talked, the more agitated Marc became. “Not true.” Abena folded her arms across her chest.
A year ago! But every time I’ve tried to pin you down about our wedding, you came up with a spectacular reason why we couldn’t discuss it.” “We should have discussed this months ago. “This matter?” Marc ran his hand over his head and laughed bitterly. Right now is not the time or place to have this conversation.” At the end of the night, we’ll go back to your place and discuss this matter in private. Speaking slowly and calmly, she said, “I think we’re going back inside to enjoy our evening with the rest of the guests. “What do you think is going to happen here tonight? Can you guess?”įear twisted in her gut. “Have you been listening at all to anything I’ve said to you?” Marc’s eyes narrowed. Is working hard and having a crazy schedule really so hard for you to understand?” I simply needed to work through a few things first.” “I’m wearing your ring.” Abena held up her hand and showed him. “Maybe you’ve managed to fool yourself into believing what you just said, but you can’t fool me. Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Marc rolled back on his heels with a chuckle. This is a huge operation, and my role is varied and ever- changing.” I’ve been working with his wife, I had to work with Santiago to help him get settled and make sure the transfer of duties and tasks was a smooth one. “Why are we still talking about this? I explained I have a lot of work to do, and since Esteban got married, he’s put more responsibility on me. “Picking a date for your wedding should not have been such a complicated task.” I explained to you the reason why I couldn’t move forward with a date. He’s the reason we’re not married yet.”Ībena shook her head vehemently.
But I’m not the problem.” He pointed at his chest, and then at the closed door.
My ex-wife used to complain I took myself too seriously, so I tried my damnedest to loosen up and be different with you. Maybe I needed to set aside more time to show how much I appreciated you, how much I really wanted to marry you. “All this time I believed the postponement and the indecision were because of me. “I know you well enough to know you’re not being completely honest.” He started pacing the carpet again in the small space. “This is why it took forever for you to settle on a firm date for our wedding. What do you think?” He paced away from her.
His brow lowered in an angry line above his eyes. Undisguised fury wreaked from Marc’s stiff movements. “You’re upset with me,” Abena said tentatively. The side door led into a back hallway of the hotel.
