Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Carol was lost in thought when she felt the arms around her tighten. As he began to let go, panic fluttered in her heart. She quickly

turned and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I've made up my mind," she said breathlessly. "I thought you were the one holding back."

Felix looked down, his hands momentarily stiff before they relaxed and rested gently on her back.

"It's not that I don't want to," he murmured. "I was just worried you were treating this like sfling."

A pang of distress hit Carol's heart, coupled with concern for his well-being. She let go of him abruptly.

"I'll whip up spasta," she declared, heading to the kitchen. "Next time, don't scarelike that."

She could only make spaghetti with tomato and scrambled eggs, a simple dish she had mastered out of necessity.

As she was dicing tomatoes, Felix appeared behind her, taking the knife from her hand.

"I'll take it from here. Go sit down."

Carol's heart melted at the gesture, and she turned to wait, lighting the stove to boil water.

As the pasta neared completion, Felix's voice broke the silence. "We were in a rush that day. Did you have the birth control?"

He spoke without looking at her, his eyes fixed on the bubbling pot, his tone even.

"Yes, I did. I'm not ready for kids—I'm still young."

Felix reached out and pinched her cheek playfully. "Let's eat."

Carol's smile widened, and they sat down at the dining table together. She had already eaten at the Miller's and wasn't hungry, but
