Chapter 229

LEAH

One moment Aaron is loving and open with me, the next I see him totally shut down when he gets a phone call from James.

It’s like watching him become a completely different person.

He becomes cold and indifferent, just like he used to be with me.

It feels like getting a bucket of ice water dumped over me.

“Aaron, what’s wrong?” I ask reaching for him, but he evades my touch.

“I have to go,” he replies, slipping his cell phone away and avoiding my gaze.

“Aaron, wait” I say, trying to keep the confusion and desperation out of my voice as he starts to walk away from me.
