"We've spent enough time together for me to miss her." Kane shrugged his shoulders while saying it, not caring about how shallow his words probably sounded to Ashlyn. "We've made each other happy. I know I messed up and I am sorry. But me declining her marriage proposal can't be reason enough for her to 'never want to see me again', can it?" He pushed the picture of Joanna as his wife aside and tried to focus on their cheerful moments instead. Such as them swimming in the nude in France, nearly being caught by the local police. Joanna was crazy. Crazy enough for him to fall for her.
"I want her in my life. I really do. Not as my wife, but as my partner. With her I can forget everything." He didn't need to explain any further. The painful look in Ashlyn's eyes only proved that his situation was difficult and he admired her for empathizing with him. What would he do without her?
