Ronald chuckled softly, holding her hand. "I had it out with the Malones."

"I know."

Realizing he was hurting her, Ronald immediately softened, blowing gently on her wrist. "Sorry."

Watching him in this vulnerable state, Kari's heart ached.

She sighed, "I wasn't finished speaking."

"I did think about us parting ways, but I can't do it." Kari's words were measured and deliberate. "Ronald, every day I find myself falling for you more and more. I know that if we were to separate, you might have a better future, but I don't want that." She licked her lips, struggling a bit with her words.
