uncle was close by.
    “Rachel
would never let him her, Zack. She’ll protect her.”
    “Like
your mum protected you?” He retorts sharply, narrowing his eyes at me in
annoyance.
    “Please
don’t compare my mum to Rachel. What my mum did to me was evil.”
    “Come
here.” He instructs me, sighing deeply.
    I
remain seated on the bed, defying him and his request.
    “Why?”
I challenge him, folding my arms across my chest.
    “Please
just come here.” He begs me. “ Now .”
    I
wait a few moments before I get up and go to him. I stand right in front of him
and tremble, incapable of hiding my true feelings.
    “I’m
sorry.” He apologises sincerely, stroking his fingers through my hair. “I
shouldn’t have said any of those things. Do you forgive me?”
    His
lips graze my own and I take a step back, desperate to put some distance
between us. I know I won’t be able to function or even pay attention if we
remain in close proximity like this and need to stay focused.
    “Just
tell me what happened.” I persist, breaking away from him so he’s forced to
continue.
    Zack
leans back against the wall behind him, locking those smouldering brown eyes of
his upon my own.
    “I
told her I want a DNA test, just to make sure she’s really mine. She wasn’t too
happy about that but agreed to it in the end. If the results come back and
prove I’m the father then I told her I want to play a part in my daughter’s
life.”
    “And
where does that leave us?” I ask him, horrified by the idea that I might have
to share him.
    “Exactly
as we are.” He assures me, sounding confident. “We carry on as normal and won’t
let this change us whatsoever.”
    “How
on earth do you expect us to do that? We’re not invincible, Zack.”
    “Yes
we are and I’ll prove that to you.” He says, taking one step forward so he can
wrap his arms around my waist.
    “But
how?”
    “By
putting you first. I want this to work out for us both, Sam.”
    “How
do you mean?”
    “I
want you to help me. I want you to help me raise Amber.”
    I
gasp when I realise he’s being serious. He actually thinks this could work and
has faith in the idea that the three of us can be parents.
    “Rachel
would never allow it. She won’t want me involved in her baby’s life.” I argue,
absolutely certain about that.
    “But
what do you want?” He asks, studying my face closely.
    “Zack,
I have to be completely honest with you… I don’t want that either.”
    He
nods his head slowly, placing a soft kiss in the centre of my forehead.
    “I
see.”
    “Being
part of her life would just be a constant reminder for me. I can’t watch you be
a father to someone else’s child.”
    “Then
let me give you your own. You know how much I want a baby with you.”
    “I’m
so sorry.” I cry, removing his hands from my waist. “I just can’t do it.”
    “Samantha,
I’m begging you… don’t do this to me.”
    He
follows me across the room, taking hold of my wrist so he can turn me around to
face him.
    “I
won’t make you choose.” I blurt out. “I promise you I won’t.”
    “What
are you saying?”
    “Zack,
I think I should just go.” I whisper, tearing myself away from his grasp.
    I
try to leave but he won’t let me, blocking the doorway by placing himself in
front of it.
    “Where
the hell do you think you’re going? Did I say you could leave?” He growls,
closing in on me with a predatory gleam in his eyes.
    “You
can’t tell me what to do, Zack.”
    “Can’t
I?” He challenges me harshly. “I think I just did.”
    The
sound of my phone interrupts us and I use it as an excuse to distract myself
for a moment, reaching for it inside my bag.
    “It’s
no one important.” I inform him, deleting the message straight away.
    “Who
was it?” He commands, striding across the room towards me.
    “It’s
nothing.” I lie, raking my fingers through my hair.
    He
grabs my phone from my hands, trying to read my message. He starts scrolling
