REAGAN'S POV.

Ten moments later, the entire atmosphere is still in graveyard silence. Selena staring straight into my eyes as she awaits my reply to her question and me staring right back at with a million thoughts running through my mind.

I have an answer to her question.

In fact, I have many answers to her question.

Firstly, she's excruciatingly correct about me not being excited about her return. Second, the timing. It's the worst! I already have someone else in my life. A woman whom I live with all my heart. A woman I wan to spend the rest of life with. But of course I can't just spill it all out to her in this manner. It will shatter her heart into pieces.

"Selena." I finally break the silence, feigning an innocent look. "Why would you even ask that?”

"Because I know you're not happy to see me here. I want to know why?"

"And what makes you think I'm not happy to see you? Have I not treated you well since your arrival?"

"You have. In fact, you've treated me better than expected, don't get me wrong, I appreciate it. I'm sorry if I sound ungrateful, but there's just something about you that makes me feel like you're not happy abou my return."
