and | wouldn't question the choices she made about her own son.
“Listen. You've been acting... weirder than normal since we spent the night at Zoe's house,” he said. “Just tell me
what your issue is.”

| barked out a derisive laugh and shook my head in disbelief. “Fine, Ill tell you. | know what you did that night,
Noah. | saw you go into her room,” | snarled.

clenching my jaw as | looked away. It was all | could do to fight the tears that were prickling at the backs of my
eyes. “...Her hands reaching for you.”
For several breathless moments, Noah just stared atin complete, utter shock. This close, his cologne blocked
out all the other scents of the boardwalk-something that normally would have made my knees buckle. But not
tonight. Tonight, it just madedizzy
“That's absurd,” he finally managed to choke out. “I honestly can’t even believe you would think I'd do
something like that. You're my wife.”
