Shades of Blue (2013)
“Telling Emma about his engagement was harder than he had imagined. But at least he knew this much — Emma wasn’t going to run away. She was giving him the weekend, which meant he could talk about the baby and make his apologies later. Tomorrow maybe.
For now he wanted to find common ground, at least. He wanted her to know he cared about how she was now, who she’d become. Holding her hand — however briefly — had bridged the distance between them, but it had done nothing to dim the hurt. With ...everything in him he wanted to take her in his arms and soothe away the sadness for both of them. Now that he was with her, he could see that she wasn’t okay. The choices they’d made together had haunted her and changed her and left her broken. Whereas he had run from the past, allowing first his college days, then his relationship with Laura to cover up the damaged pieces of his soul … she had done nothing of the sort. At least that’s how it seemed.
