Even though she hadn't physically pushed him away, Ian felt as if she had just shoved him miles out of her heart.
It felt like she was abandoning him all over again.
Eleanor took a step back, breaking the intimate proximity, but Ian kept his arms raised, forming a cage that refused to let her fully escape his space.
Eleanor took a deep breath, meeting his intense, desperate gaze without flinching. "Ian, you are a good man. I've seen everything you've done for me lately, and I appreciate it. But I've thought about this clearly today. We are not getting remarried. And we are not getting back together."
Ian's Adam's apple bobbed. His pupils dilated in shock, a raw, bleeding vulnerability shattering his composure.
"Why? Why can't we be together? We don't have to get married. I told you, that piece of paper doesn't matter. What matters is us—" Ian's breath hitched. "As long as we're together, that's enough."
Eleanor suddenly shoved him hard, taking another massive step back and crossing her arms defensively. "Why do I have to tie my life to yours, Ian? I was perfectly fine on my own. People change. Feelings change. Right now, relationships are nothing but a burden to me. And men are too."
She delivered the final blow with absolute, terrifying indifference. "The rest of my life is about my career and my daughter. I don't have room for anyone else. And I don't need anyone else."
With that, she turned on her heel, fully prepared to walk away forever.
However, the moment she spun around, Ian lunged forward, desperately trying to grab her wrist.
Eleanor swiftly dodged his hand.
He missed.
