was a mistake. My mistake and has nothing to do with you , " he shot back, wounding me.
    " I never expected you to be perfect , " I defended weakly . " And apparently we ca n ' t separate our past from our future so it has everything to do with me ! " I said, my entire body shaking with every emotion imaginable: embarrassment, hurt, shock, and outrage taking the lead.
    He leaned against his car, arms crossed, eyes fixed on mine . " What exactly is it that you want from me, Violet? I ' m not Alex. I ca n ' t make what he did right for you. I ' ve already given you the ability to hurt me. What more do you want ? "
    " I ' m not trying to hurt you, Rhys . "
    " Yo u ' re not, but what you are doing is acting like a jealous ex-wife. Yo u ' re making a damn fool of yourself and me, something I swore I would n ' t let you do again. Yo u ' re expecting me to apologize and make excuses for mistakes I have already paid fo r … And you’r e pissing me off . "
    I glared at him as I addressed him next . " You do n ' t want the jealous ex-wife, fine, how about answering to your current girlfriend? When exactly where you planning on telling me Sandra came for a cock filled house call ! "
    He shook his head as his arms fell to his sides, his guilt apparent.
    " No secrets or lies between us. I believe that was your line of bullshit, Rhys , " I continued, my voice a shriek at this point.
    " I may have an answer to that when you can calm down and act rationally. This is their mess, Violet, not ours ! " he said, exasperated. He looked at me with contempt . " I moved on from that. I found you, let it go . "
    " Let it go? Let it go ! " I shook my head, incredulous . " Well, she has n ' t moved on, Rhys! You lied to m e … again! That whore is the mother of your son, she ruined my marriage, and you think we can just walk away from this ! "
    " Yes , " he said, quickly , " I know we can . "
    " Maybe you can . " I watched him slowly shut down in front of me and could n ' t help my next words . " Tell me, Rhys, what is it that yo u ' re so damn angry about right now? You can control my body but not my emotions, is that it ? "
    His breath left him as he shook his head . " Tell me why yo u ' re so upset, Violet, because I ' m pretty sure it has more to do with him than me . " I saw a steely resolve cover his features before he spoke again . " Maybe I was wrong to pull you so close. You never wanted this, us, or maybe I just wanted it more. You signed up for something totally different , " he stated, pulling at his door handle. I slammed it closed, forcing him to face me.
    " What, Rhy s ... " I gathered my strength, the amount of hurt I felt making me tremble . " What the hell did you just say to me ? " I clenched my fists at my sides as he stared at the gravel between us . " Yo u ' re the one who was IN remember? No, Rhys, we were designed to be together and your ex had an unknowing hand in it! I mean, what kind of fucked up coincidence is this ? "
    " I ' m thankful , " he said, slowly reaching for me . " And I always will be . " He pulled my face to him and kissed me gently then let go to get in his car.
    " Rhys, talk to me , " I said, my heart sinking.
    " I t ' s Christmas Eve, Violet. I have to go get Bryce . "
    " Violet ? " I turned around to see Alex walking toward me and held my hand up to stop him in his tracks.
    " Not now, Alex . " I saw Rhys stiffen as Alex approached. I turned to glare at him but he stood firm in his refusal to give Rhys and I space . " All I am asking for is a few minutes, Violet . "
    Rhys darted around me, his face twisted with fury . " I thought I told you to stay the fuck away from her . "
    I jumped in front of Rhys, a question in my eyes as he looked past me, murder in his depths for Alex.
    " I think you know I only want to talk to her , " Alex snapped back, challenging him. I looked between them, completely confused. Then it dawned on me the y ' d had this conversation before. I turned to Rhys.
    " When ? "
    " The night
