She opened her mouth to tell him then decided against it. Turning the focus to him was a safer road. "So, you're not married? I'm surprised. It was something you wanted so badly--a wife and kids. A family."
I wanted those things with you, Maggie, not just anybody."
His words were anguish to her soul. Until this very moment, she hadn't realized how much she wanted to turn back time, to go back to that place where she was sure of her family, sure of his love for her. Yet, he seemed so intense and certain, showing the conviction he'd always had. It was one of the qualities she had loved about him, his strength of will and character. Now it was different, though.

Sure, there'd been a string of men come and go as she'd tried to sort things out in her head; tried to find happiness, a life; tried to mend her brokenness. None of them worked. None of them could fill the void.

"Then why do I get the impression you're still running scared?"
