“Are you asking for my input?”
Anthony put down his fork and leaned back, his gaze locked on Charlotte. His throat felt tight.
“Yes.”
Charlotte didn’t hesitate, her voice calm and steady as she lifted her chin.
“I looked into the Apex situation last night. It’s dangerous.” Anthony’s brow was drawn, his normally sharp features a shade paler than usual. “You’re pregnant, Lottie. Your immunity isn’t strong right now.”
“I know.”
Charlotte answered softly. She’d tried to keep her voice gentle, not wanting this to turn into an argument. “I’ve done everything I can think of these past few days. I still can’t find the cause of the outbreak.”
“Anthony, I’m a doctor. The first thing I learned in med school was that lives depend on us. I can’t just look the other way. If I don’t do something, this will only spread. More people will die.”
Her eyes flicked down, lingering on her belly for the briefest moment. Her voice dropped to a whisper. “And a lot of kids will lose their parents.”
“So…”
“Lottie.”
Anthony moved his chair back. He looked at her, an intensity in his eyes that was impossible to ignore. “Come here.”
Charlotte hesitated, not sure what he wanted, but walked over without a word.
Anthony took her hand, guiding her gently onto his lap, his arms circling her waist. His voice, when it came, was quiet but rough with emotion. “What if I say no? What if I don’t let you go to Apex?”
“You’ll say yes.”
Her face stayed calm, her answer full of certainty. “Won’t you?”
“Why do you think that?”
