Courad stood from his chair and crossed the space between us slowly. His hand rested against my baside me, and the warmth of it settled some of the anger twisting inside my chest.
“She will not touch our child” he said firmly.
The words affected me more than I expected them to Conrad farely spoke emotionally which made harder to ignore.

“You need sleep,” Conrad said quietly.

“I will rest later.”
I opened my eyes and looked at him directly. “That answer is getting old.”
